The "Italian Job" awaits for the Irish pairing of Josh McErlean/Eoin Treacy onboard their M-Sport Ford Puma Rally1 as they tackle Rally Italia Sardegna, the sixth round of the World Rally Championship that is set to be hot, both in pace and weather. 

Buoyed by their performance in the most recent round in Portugal, the faster and tighter stages on the island’s north eastern coast will provide yet another challenge as they become more familiar with their Rally1 car.
