Ingram makes FIA World Rally Championship debut in Turkey

Posted Date 13/09/2018

September is shaking up to be a huge month for ERC title holder Chris Ingram, starting with a landmark rally in Turkey this weekend. The 24-year-old is making his World Rally Championship debut in Marmaris, with this development perhaps indicative of the amazing progress made during a career still very much in its infancy.

Acknowledging the magnitude of the task ahead, Chris said: “I’m fully focused on our WRC2 debut. It’s a huge challenge ahead, competing on these brutal stages for only our 2^nd gravel rally in the Toksport Skoda R5 – but what an opportunity!”

Ingram looking to strike gold at Barum Czech Rally this weekend

This year has arguably been the most challenging of Chris Ingram’s career so far, but that hasn’t stopped the European Rally Champion from making his mark on the continent yet again.

Despite a debilitating illness forcing early retirement in Gran Canarias, the 24-year-old still sits in second place in the ERC Junior U28 rankings with three more rallies to come.

The first of these – the Barum Czech Rally Zlin – takes place this weekend and gives Chris the perfect opportunity to make up some ground on current leader Fabian Kreim.

Ingram aims to build on successful start at Rally Islas Canarias

Chris Ingram has the opportunity to extend his lead at the top of the ERC Junior U28 rankings when he takes to the track at the Rally Islas Canarias on Thursday.

And the Mancunian has fond memories of competing on Spanish territory having won the corresponding rally this time last season.

History has already repeated itself in one regard. Chris went into the 2017 Rally Islas Canarias off the back of victory in the Azores, and he triumphed in Portugal once again just over a month ago.

The double European champion shared a video of a slight mishap that occurred while testing earlier in the week, with cold tyres causing problems for Chris and two other drivers on the circuit.
