Luis-Perez Companc has set his sights on finishing in the points on the Rally Mexico, the Munchi's Ford World Rally team's second outing in the
FIA World Rally Championship.
Companc managed to finish 13th overall in Mexico last year, despite an off at the end of the first leg, which meant he had to rejoin under the SupeRally for days two and three.
"I am looking forward to doing this rally again because it will be the third time that I have done it and also I like very much the roads," said the Argentine ace, who was 15th overall in Sweden last month. "It is a different and tricky event but at least the gravel surface is where I feel most comfortable."
Asked about his tactics, he said he is aiming to go for it from the off: "The idea is to start quickly, although you still have to look after the car because the roads suffer a lot of damage after the first pass and from my experience in the past you have to look after the car in the first leg not to have any major problems," he explained.
"I think that we can score some points in this event though. The next four rallies for us are all gravel events, some of them I have already done so I am looking forward to these events also."
Companc's team-mate, Juan Pablo Raies meanwhile is also confident and after having been excluded in Sweden for a minor regulation infringement, he is eager to put that episode behind and capitalise on his experience on gravel.
"We can't wait to get started on Rally Mexico, it is a gravel event where we will perform better and, I hope, do well," added the two-time South American Rally champion. "It is going to be much easier than Sweden for me, the climate and roads are more like what we are used to, but we still have to carry on gaining experience to better understand and get used to the car.
