Proton driver Guy Wilks believes that his Proton Satria S2000 can only get quicker, following his fourth place on last week’s Rally Russia: round six of the IRC.
The double British champion suffered two punctures which kept him out of a possible third place. While he was pleased with the result, Wilks added that more was needed to get to the front of the field.
“It was great to be setting times quicker than the Abarths,” he said. “I’m pleased about that, particularly given the depth of development those cars have been through. But we still have a bit to find before we’re fighting the Skodas. The good thing is that we can find this time in the car, we’re not sat scratching our heads wondering how to make it faster. All we need is some time testing and we can be right up there.”
Wilks will be out in the car next on the Rali Vinho Madeira from July 30-August 1.
