Wilks set for Rally d’Italia-Sardegna run

Skoda UK Motorsport has confirmed it will enter Guy Wilks and co-driver Phil Pugh on Rally d’Italia-Sardegna next month.

The Italian-run team is entering the British pair on seven rounds of this year’s Intercontinental Rally Challenge in a Fabia Super 2000.

Wilks said: "We’ve got to push for a win in Sardinia where I know we can be competitive. We’ve got a bit of a breather now before Sardinia, so we aim to make the most of that time to prepare well. I know in myself that I and the Fabia can gel a little bit better and better results can come. That’s what we’re aiming for."

Wilks his currently equal second in the IRC drivers’ standings following his third consecutive podium finish of the season on Rally Islas Canarias last weekend.
