UNE Renault Clio en R3 ! Que pourra-t-elle faire contre les Ford Fiesta R3 ? Intéressant à voir !
Puisque Ben aborde ci-dessous le cas de Jourdan Serderidis :
L’histoire retiendra que cet amateur a fini dans les points (pour l’instant), sur 2 épreuves du championnat du monde des rallyes :
=> 10ème du rallye d’Australie 2018 (Ford Fiesta WRC), à l’âge de 54 ans
=> 7ème au rallye du Kenya 2022 (Ford Puma WRC), à l’âge de 58 ans.
Chapeau et bravo !
