Van Dalen: Wilks is still in IRC (...)

Kronos Racing boss Marc van Dalen believes Guy Wilks is still in the fight for the Intercontinental Rally Challenge title and says he can so no reason why the Briton can’t secure a podium finish on the
next round of the series in Czech Republic at the end of August.

Wilks, who is driving a Peugeot UK-backed 207 Super 2000 for the Kronos team, is sixth in the IRC standings following retirements in Corsica and Azores.

Van Dalen said: “Everything is still possible with many rallies left including Scotland and Cyprus where there are points and a half and double points available [respectively]. It is very important Guy is on the podium [in Zlin] but for sure he has the speed to do it and we know the car is on the right level. We are all behind him because we win as a team and we lose as a team. I know Guy is 100 per cent
motivated to be successful and so are we.”

Barum Czech Rally Zlin takes place from 26-28 August and counts as round seven of the 11-event IRC season.
