Four PEUGEOT 208 WRXs on the prowl at Lydden Hill
| Boosted by Sébastien Loeb's encouraging second place in Belgium, the four #peugeot 208 WRX drivers are looking forward to the visit to Great Britain where #lyddenhill will host round four of the 2016 FIA World Rallycross Championship on May 28-29. |
QUOTE, UNQUOTE
Kenneth Hansen (Team Principal) "I like #lyddenhill. It's one of the calendar's faster circuits where you can really make the most of the potential of a car like the #peugeot 208 WRX. I know it's a venue that suits Timmy, Davy and Kevin, and I am certain that Sébastien will lose no time adapting given his experience of #racing on asphalt. We will need to adapt our strategy to the fact that the Joker Lap veers off at Turn 1. We are determined to up our game a notch and our intention is to fight for the win. We have shown recently that we have the speed to achieve that goal."
Sébastien Loeb (N°9 #peugeot 208 WRX) "After finishing on the podium in Mettet, I couldn't be more fired up ahead of #lyddenhill. The aim is to continue being competitive and up there battling with the leading pack, despite the fact that #lyddenhill is unknown territory for me. I saw in Belgium how a good start position can make a huge difference and how your weekend can tip one way or the other very quickly. I hope #lyddenhill goes well from that point of view."
Timmy Hansen (N°21 #peugeot 208 WRX) "The early races have been pretty hard for me, so I hope #lyddenhill will mark the start of a more positive spiral. I know we have the speed for that to happen and this is one of my favourite circuits. I always enjoy its sweeping corners and the flowing rhythm it calls for. For me, Turn 1 is one of the most interesting corners of the season. It's on gravel, with a brief portion of asphalt. I love it. It's a track that suits both the #peugeot 208 WRX and my driving style, and I've got some fond memories of my previous visits. It's here that I competed for the first time as a full-time rallycross driver. I finished on the podium and I'm hoping history will repeat itself this time round!"
