Peugeot Backs British Rally Star's Dream

Posted on: 1st Sep 2014

To step into any brand new car for the first time is always slightly daunting: when it’s a full-blown Peugeot rally car and you’re driving on rally stages you’ve never seen before, it’s triply so. But last weekend Peugeot UK’s 20-year old rising star Chris Ingram rose manfully to the challenge at Barum Czech Rally Zlín in the Czech Republic, the eighth round of the 2014 FIA European Rally Championship.

Chris is competing in the remaining rounds of the FIA ERC Junior Championship, fulfilling his dream of a career in top-flight rallying and his progress thus far has been mightily impressive. A distinctive livery, primarily derived from the Union flag, now adorns his car – the accomplished Peugeot 208 R2 - as he continues his rally career with the backing of a major car maker.

"Fantastic experience…the 208 R2 is such an enjoyable car to drive and I’m slowly building my confidence…finishing was the main thing…important to show everyone that I’m worthy of the support that Peugeot has given me

Chris Ingram’s next scheduled outing in the Peugeot UK 208 R2 is at the Rallye International du Valais in Switzerland from 23rd-25th October 2014.
