Proton will celebrate its debut in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge from June 18-20 istarting with Belgium (Belgium Ypes Rally). And that will not go unnoticed as the team have put their trust in Guy Wilks, the British driver who has shown his metal already in the WRC.
Wilks, who won the British Rally Championship in 2007 and 2008 with his Mitsubishi Lancer, will contest seven remaining rounds of the IRC with the factory-backed Proton team, which could expand to run as many as three cars before the end of this season.
PROTON's participation in the IRC challenge marks the Malaysian car manufacturer's return to the global rally scene since 2002, when Malaysian driver Karamjit Singh of the PROTON sponsored Petronas Eon Racing Team (PERT) bagged the Production World Rally Championship in an MEM developed car.
