Dani Sordo believes a better starting position on the opening day of Rally Mexico “alone is not enough” going into next weekend’s event.
Sordo returns to the championship for the first time in 2020 in North America as he begins his part-time campaign in the third Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC and he hasn’t ruled out a potential shot at victory either.
He said while preparing for the third round of the season: “I really want to win in Mexico and to take another victory for the team. Our road position on the first day should be advantageous but that alone is not enough. The altitude makes it a difficult event, so we have to be prepared physically and to look after the car as well.”
“I am excited to be back in the Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC at Rally México, an event I enjoy a lot and where I have always had a good performance. I have stayed close to the team in the opening events of the season, and took part in Rally Serras de Fafe last weekend, so I feel fit and ready.”
“We have a lot of support and passion from the fans, which only adds to the character of this event. I can’t wait to get back behind the wheel.”
Sordo has traditionally gone well in Mexico, with the Spaniard taking second on the event back in 2018.
Round three of the 2020 FIA World Rally Championship takes place next weekend, beginning on Thursday evening.
