"I would like to try to do two or three 🦋rallies in the IRC," he said. "It's where all the drivers are going to. 𒐪It is more interesting for me than the WRC because there are some opportunities for drivers."
Duval's car would be entered by the Rene Georges Rally Sport team if agreement can be reached, with the former WRC winner having tested the team's VW Polo S2000 ahead of a possibl♑e Belgian Rally Championship run in the car.
