Citroen's Martin Prokop has announced that he will continue competing in the FIA Junior Rally Championship next season.

Prokop, who took 'bronze' in the 2007 JRC standings and who won two events in his C2 S1600, including the most recent round in Corisca last weekend, added though that he would like to try and do a few events in a World Rally Car in 2008 as well.

His bid to get WRC car experience will be boosted soon too as his reward for winning the inaugural C2 Junior Experience is a test in a Citroen WRC car.

"I'll be back in the C2 Junior Experience next year for a crack at the Junior title," he noted following his win in France on Sunday.

"I hope to do some rallies in a WRC car too, but I cannot say if it will be possible. For me the most important thing is to be faster than the year before. I will have the same team and same car for next year."

Yves Matton, Citroen Sport's customer competitions manager, meanwhile has been impressed with Prokop's form this season and believes that the Czech definitely has a good chance of taking the JRC title in 2008.

"He's ended the year in the most positive of ways and he'll certainly be a strong candidate for victory next year," Matton predicted.

"He proved over the last half of the year that he could be quick and resist the pressure from his rivals. His progress since the start of the year will be confirmed again next season."
