Peugeot UK supports Erc Junior Ingram

The Manchester-based driver has already made his mark in the ERC. Last year he finished second in class in the Azores, third in Ypres and became the youngest driver to win the Colin McRae ERC Flat Out Trophy after his stunning performance on the 2014 Circuit of Ireland.

Starting with next week’s Rally Liepāja, Ingram will drive a 208 R2 – coloured with a distinctive Union Flag livery – supported by Peugeot UK, Peugeot Financial Services and Total Lubricants.

Chris and co-driver Gabin Moreau have spent the winter period training and preparing for the ERC Junior Championship, attending the recent Rallye Monte Carlo and practicing their talents with ice-driving in the Alps.

“It will be a huge challenge rallying in Latvia, as we will be up against many Scandinavian and Baltic snow-driving experts. However, after the strong result following on from our class win on the Wales Rally GB last year, we are confident that we’ll certainly give our class competitors a run for their money,” says Chris. “Our aim will be to maximise our scoring potential before the races that we feel will be the stronger rounds for us – in Ireland, the Azores and in Belgium for example.

“We believe we have a very strong chance of success in the European Junior Rally Championship title this year, after gaining valuable experience last year and having the perfect car and team for this year's battle. We are going in to this with the objective of winning it, sure in the knowledge we have a really good chance, and I am delighted to have the full backing of Peugeot UK.”
