Perez and Yates to join BRC field in Fiestas
Former Porsche Carrera Cup GB racer Seb Perez will compete in the British Rally Championship this year, driving a Ford Fiesta Rally2 machine.
Perez had intended to continue circuit racing in 2021 but Covid-related travel restrictions forced the 21-year-old into having a rethink.
“With the fact that my European race aspirations for this season did not quite go to plan, we had to look elsewhere,” said Perez, who drove an Aston Martin in the GT4 European Series last year.
“I’m feeling optimistic about the season ahead.”
Another Fiesta Rally2 driver will be Rhys Yates – an English title winner in 2015 who went on to finish fourth in the British standings in 2017 and 2018, before competing in the WRC2 category.
