Munnings chases Ladies’ Trophy
Catie Munnings will return to the European Rally Championship to tackle the Junior U27 category in a Peugeot 208 R2 for a second year in succession.
The 20-year-old will return to Sainteloc’s junior team for six ERC rounds starting with next month’s Azores Rally. Forced to miss the final round of last year’s ERC due to a lack of budget, Munnings admits she is still short of the cash required to complete 2018.
Munnings, who will also chase this year’s ERC Ladies’ Trophy, said: “We are all proud of the progression we made in 2017. Even though we lacked budget for any testing or practice, we were getting closer to the fastest guys. It’s like a dream to step into the car each time and I can’t wait to get started. We are still looking for some of our budget, I’m working at it every day and we will get there.”
Sainteloc has confirmed it will run Citroen C3 R5s once the French firm homologates the new car in the summer. Sainteloc has run Peugeot’s 208 T16 in recent seasons.
