Guy Wilks has confirmed that he will supplement his campaign in the BRC by taking in an additional five international rallies this year, including the World Rally Championship event in Finland in the summer.
The Englishman, who won the BRC title last year, will compete in a JAS Motorsport-run Honda Civic Type R R3 rally car, which was exhibited at the Geneva Motor Show last month next to Honda's
F1 car.
The deal was announced at the end of last week and in addition to the Rally Finland, Wilks will also compete on the Rally Russia, the fourth round in the 2008 Intercontinental Rally Challenge, which runs from July 11-12, as well as two rounds of the Australian Rally Championship - namely the Rally of Canberra (May 10-11) and the NGK Rally of Melbourne (October 18-19) - and fifth international rally that has yet to be confirmed.
"JAS has a superb motorsport pedigree and it is a privilege to be joining them for 2008," the 2007 British champion told his personal website,
guywilks.com.
"I am sure we can deliver some very strong results together with the R3 rally car on some very challenging rallies, starting with Rally of Canberra in May."
Wilks programme with the Honda will not affect his plans to defend his BRC title with Mitsubishi in the UK as there are no clashes.
