Luis Perez Companc has said that he will be aiming for a trouble-free run on the Acropolis Rally to try and capitalise on the traditionally high attrition rate and score the first points for the Munchi's Ford squad.
Companc hasn't had much luck so far this season in his four WRC events to date and he was forced out of the recent event in Sardinia when he hit a large rock and suffered quite a heavy off.
Each gravel event has brought more confidence to the 35-year-old though and while Greece is a new rally for him, he remains confident: “The last few events have not been very kind to me and we have had small problems that have ended our rallies early. My first time in Greece will be very difficult but I will be concentrating very hard and aiming to have a clean run,” he explained, “there is a high rate of attrition and hopefully we can be there at the end to pick up some points.”
Asked about the event in more detail, Luis-Perez added that the reconnaissance will be especially significant for him, considering this is his debut on the event.
“The recce will be important and we will gather as much information as possible about where we can push and where we need to be careful of the surface and not make any mistakes,” he added. “The car is strong and, even though we didn't complete many stages in Argentina and Sardinia, it still felt positive on the gravel surface; I think we should have a good chance for Greece.”
As for
Federico Villagra's form last time out, his first outing under the Munchi's banner, Companc admitted that he was impressed, especially as Federico had never driven a WRC car before.
“Federico performed well and did a good job for the team [in Sardinia]. I think he will improve as the season goes on and he gets to grips with the Focus RS WRC. I'm hoping this rally will be a good team effort from us all,” Luis-Perez summed-up.
