M-Sport team principal Richard Millener will join the rest of the rally watching world on the edge of their seats as this year’s World Rally Championship reaches a thrilling climax at FORUM8 Rally Japan later this month.
With the drivers’, manufacturers’ and WRC2 title fights all going down to the wire, Millener says it’s the perfect scenario for fans.
“Don’t get me wrong,” said Millener, “it’s heart-breaking that we’re not involved in the fight for these titles, that’s why we’re here, it’s what we do. But the fact we’re not involved won’t stop us all watching on. It’s another classic WRC fight to the end.
“I’m a rally fan at heart and I always will be – to watch this one play out is going to be fascinating.”
Asked where he was putting his money in Toyota City Millener added: “For the drivers’, this one is Thierry Neuville’s to lose. He’s been in a good position before, but this time he’s looking really strong.
“Manufacturer-wise, it’s tough, but I think you’d have to say Hyundai deserves this one. They’ve had a strong season, they made the most of the [sporting] regulation changes and it would be nice to see them do it. That’s nothing against Toyota, I’m sure they’re going to put up one heck of a fight and we’ll try to make sure we’re there to stick our oar in too!”
