Stars target ERC rides in 2013
Giandomenico Basso and Bryan Bouffier are some of the star drivers targeting rides in next season’s new-look FIA European Rally Championship.
Basso, a double European champion, could campaign an M-Sport Ford Fiesta RRC in the Eurosport Events-promoted series, while Bouffier has strong links with Peugeot, which will unleash the R5-specification version of its 208 model midway through next season.

“The European championship would be excellent especially with the involvement of Eurosport, the television coverage and the promotion they do,” said Basso. “I have won the European championship in the past and I would love to have the opportunity to repeat the achievement. I am trying to put together a programme and I am working on some projects to do that.”
Bouffier said: “It would be nice to do the European Rally Championship. For sure it has been there for a long time but with Eurosport Events it will be a big experience.”
