During this year, the Greek Jourdan Serderidis has made five rally starts with a privately rented Ford Puma Rally1 from M-Sport Ford WRT with three of them being in the FIA World Rally Championship and two in the Belgian Rally Championship, but now he has confirmed he will be doing the season-opener in January for the team.
Serderidis has contested the rally four times before with three of them being in R5 machinery and one more in a rented Citroen C3 WRC. The rally will also mark his fourth start in a Puma and the gentelman driver has improved throughout the year with a career best finish of seventh overall at the Safari Rally Kenya and made his last appearance in RallyRACC – Rally de España where he also drove the car on asphalt for the first time.
With Serderidis entry it means now the M-Sport Ford WRT team will be having three Ford Puma Rally1 on the start grid for the first round with the Estonian Ott Tänak and Frenchman Pierre-Louis Loubet driving in the two others.
