Thus far the Munchi's outfit has managed to notch up points on every single event and has 16 points on the board - two more than achieved last year, and to date it has only done four of its ten scheduled outings.
Villagra competed in Greece for the first time in 2007 and he was going reasonably well, considering it was only his second event in a WRC car, until a clutch issue on day two forced him to SupeRally and he lost a chunk of time.
While the last round in Sardinia didn't exactly go to plan for 'Coyote' and he only finished 14th, he is now keen to try and finish in the top eight again, as he managed on his first three events.
"We had a good rally in Greece last year and it’s an event that I like quite a lot," said Federico. "For sure the rally will be hard work, it will be hot and sunny and the stages take a lot of energy from the driver; last year there was a very long stage in which many people had problems. The event usually throws up some surprises.
"But I think it will benefit us to be doing another rally quite close after the last one as the feeling of the car is still in my head and our confidence is good after Sardinia.
"The focus is still on finishing the rally without any problems and if we can do that it will be a good opportunity to collect more points for both me and the Munchi’s team. I will be able to get some tips from my team-mate for this rally, who is a local driver and will know the conditions well."
Aris Vovos meanwhile will be taking in his first WRC event in the 2008 championship and having benefited from a recent test in the Focus RS WRC07 is hopeful that he can do well.
Indeed he has done the event 13 times under WRC status since 1993, notching up his best result in 2004, when he was eighth. He will now want to try and replicate that, although he reckons the role of the tyres could be crucial.
