Monte Carlo or bust for Kris Meeke and Paul Nagle

With their Citroen DS3 WRC armed with several significant upgrades to the engine, suspension, aerodynamics and gearbox, the Irish crew of Meeke and Paul Nagle expect to be fighting for the leading places on Rallye Monte Carlo that cranks into gear this evening.

Monte Carlo or bust for Kris Meeke and Paul Nagle

The Tyrone/Kerry partnership head the Citroen Total Abu Dhabi World Rally Team and will be joined on a one-off appearance by nine times World champion Sebastien Loeb and his co-driver Daniel Elena - both crews have been nominated to score championship points.

Meeke doesn’t hide his goals: “Last year I was experiencing the vast majority of the rallies for the first time. I learned a lot and realised just how important it is to rack up the miles and experience. Generally speaking, all drivers make progress in their second full season and I hope I’m no exception. I also think the work done on the DS 3 WRC is going to help us to go faster. My goal is to fight for one of the leading places.”
