Dani Sordo celebrated his debut victory in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge last weekend by praising the level of competition in the series, the fan-friendly format and the live television coverage on Eurosport.
Sordo, driving a MINI John Cooper Works S2000, won Giru di Corsica-Tour de Corse following close battles with IRC regulars Giandomenico Basso, Jan Kopecký and Andreas Mikkelsen.
“To be honest it was really good fun,” said Sordo. “There are lot of drivers in the IRC who are really fast, especially on Tarmac. I enjoy a lot and these battles are very good for television, it’s good for the spectators and mostly it’s good for the drivers.”
