“After that its Portugal, Italy, Estonia – that’s the first time for me – and maybe Finland, but definitely Spain. We are trying to get six or seven rallies, that will be perfect for us to get the maximum points in WRC2.”
Last weekend Guerra participated in his home rally at the Rally of Nations Guanajuato, where he was up against some of the former WRC2 front-runners and ended the rally in third place in the classification behind Adrien Fourmaux and Mads Ostberg.
“That was a warm-up event for Croatia for me. It was great to be back in a rally car again and really great to be back on the stages in León and Guanajuato.” Guerra added.
