🤩 First test in the Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC! 🔥

You may have seen the news last week - I will be driving the @HMSGOfficial i20 Coupe WRC at the Arctic Rally Finland later this month! 🤩 This really is a dream for me - to be making my debut in a World Rally Car from the World Rally Champions so soon is such an amazing opportunity!

The first thing for me to say is a very big thank you to Hyundai Motorsport, Andrea Adamo, Alain Penasse and everybody for putting their trust in me to drive this rally in the WRC car 🙌 it will be a fantastic experience and I can't wait to get behind the wheel for the first time! 🐺

Check out some action footage and interviews with me (and my dad) from my first ever test day in the i20 Coupe WRC! Thanks to @DirtFish for the filming 💪

It's very nice that you are continuing the family tradition, I've always liked to watch the rallies where your dad started, now I will follow your races.

I always dreamed of having your dad autograph. Now I would like to have your autograph and your father, maybe someday when you are in Poland I will be able to get such an autograph

That looks awesome. To think you can drive better at 20 years old on snow and ice than most people can on normal blacktop with a lifetime of driving experience. Keep having fun.
