The World RX of Great Britain will be raced on a brand new circuit comprising 60% dirt and 40% asphalt. At 972 metres long, it is the shortest track so far this season. 

“We were unable to take part in pre-season testing at Silverstone, unlike our rivals. They’ll have a slight advantage over us in that respect," said Grönholm. "However, I’m confident and I’m sure we can put in a good performance in Great Britain." 

Grönholm started from the back in Semi-Final 1 at the World RX of Belgium and finished in fourth place, but that was not good enough to earn him a spot in the final. 

"Our results weren’t satisfactory in Belgium but we’re heading in the right direction. We are gaining confidence in the car but it can be tough against the factory teams," says Grönholm. "Obviously the aim is a place in the final and, before that, to qualify for the semi-finals, at the front of the grid if possible to give us the best possible chance of a good result.”
