THAT’S ALL FOLKS AS INGRAM’S WRC2 SEASON FINISHES
Chris Ingram’s World championship season is officially over as a result of his huge Acropolis Rally crash last month.
Ingram was momentarily trapped in his badly damaged Skoda Fabia, which had also caught fire, after it plunged down a steep drop on the Greek event.
The cash-starved Briton, who suffered a hand injury in the process, confirmed he would not be competing in Spain or Japan and said: “Due to my hand having still not recovered 100% as well as the car repair bill, my 2022 WRC season ends here. It’s been the most exciting season of my career and I firmly believe that whilst we have achieved some strong results, this is the tip of the iceberg of what I am capable of with my driving and pace.
“Craig [Drew] and I have fought with the best and won stages against drivers with many years of WRC experience, but who also have the benefit and advantage of manufacturer backing. I am already fully focused on 2023.”
Ingram is expected to continue with Toksport, the Germany-based Turkish team that guided him to the European championship crown in 2019.
