2007 African Rally champion glad to be back in Europe.

"Sardinia is usually a bit of both of those. Having done this event for a while now, the last three with David [Senior - my co-driver] I've got some good notes for the first day and a half of the route – which are the stages we've done before.

"I can't tell you how good it will feel to come back to familiar territory. The last couple of rallies have been really quite tough. It's one thing having to learn a completely new car, but it's another when you're trying to make new notes and learn new rallies – like I have been doing for the last three rallies.

"I feel good about the first day in Sardinia. We've got a good seeding on the road and that, combined with the notes, gives me a good bit of confidence to push on and have a real go.

"Obviously, not having had a test, we'll need to see how the car is running, but given that it should be the same as we left it in Jordan - and that we'll have had a couple of runs at shakedown - it should be great."
