Guy, Phil and the Proton World Rally Team are confident Rally Russia will mark another important step in the development of the new Satria Neo Super 2000.
Double British champion Guy said: "The car is still very new, so we’re improving and learning more with every kilometre we drive.
"Russia will be a really good experience for us, and a valuable chance to develop the Proton some more on gravel.
"We already found a few ideas that could help us in Belgium, and we’re looking forward to the chance of putting them into practice in Russia.”
Guy and Phil contested Rally Russia last year and led the 2WD category before being forced out with a mechanical problem.
Guy said: “There are some quite quick stages, which I always enjoy, and some very tricky places as well. I won't set targets this weekend. Our job is to accumulate as much data as possible."
Rally Russia gets under way with a start ramp ceremony in Vyborg before four gravel stages that end late at night.
Friday's second leg is made up of six stages divided into two identical loops of three. It includes the legendary 29.31km Topolki test.
And Saturday's final leg consists of five stages before a 15:00 finish back at Vyborg.
