McKenna relishes World Rally Challenge

Daniel McKenna, co-driver Arthur Kierans and his team are in the final stages of preparation for their first ever world rally, Wales Rally GB this weekend, writes Trish Whelan.

The recently crowned Pirelli Star Driver will use his Scanbitz Ltd and Ravenol Motoroil supported Ford Fiesta R2 on the mammoth event and is relishing the challenges he will face over the four days of competition.

Daniel received a free entry to the event from wining the R2 category int he BRC in conjunction with the road to Wales campaign. An added bonus for him is that the stages used in this year's Wales rally GB will be of a similar nature to what he will face in the first round of the BRC in 2014, the Bulldog rally of North Wales. Daniel will get behind the wheel of the Pirelli backed Citroen DS3 R3T for his 2014 championship assault.

The event starts on Thursday evening with three night stages. You can track Daniel via his website, danielmckenna.net.
