"I hope not to have trouble here and be able to have a good race and maintain a good pace. We did not have the best events in the last two rallies but I am really starting to get used to the new Focus now and I can't wait to see what it can do in Jordan."
M-Sport boss Malcolm Wilson is confident Henning, Gigi and his son Matthew - who will be entered in the third
Stobart car - all have the potential to shine.
"This is going to be a unique event which could benefit the Stobart team with it being new to the WRC calendar. Conditions will be demanding in the heat and the long stage on Sunday will be a true test of concentration and fitness.
"All three Stobart drivers have shown impressive speed on gravel this year and Gigi's speed in Mexico was right up with the top guys until his retirement.
"A new rally brings with it new challenges and the main aim will be for each crew to finish with maximum experience of the new event with strong points for the team," Wilson Sr concluded.

Ice cream team eager to extend gap to Suzuki.
Federico Villagra and Luis-Perez Companc are both targeting points on the inaugural Jordan Rally.
Villagra has had a strong start to the season and has claimed points on both of his outings - taking a seventh place in Mexico and a sixth place in Argentina.
He recently built on that success by winning the Rally de Bariloche, the latest round in the Argentine Rally Championship, by just over half a minute and now has a commanding 12 point lead in his national championship after winning both the opening two rounds.
