Alex Lawrie Skoda is excited to learn that Škoda UK Motorsport has chosen Guy Wilks and co-driver Phil Pugh to take on the Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC).

Škoda UK Motorsport will enter a Fabia Super 2000 for Guy Wilks and co-driver Phil Pugh on the 2010 Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) and Alex Lawrie Skoda is backing the team every step of the way.

Guy, from Darlington in County Durham, is one of Britain’s most exciting rally talents, having won the British Rally Championship twice (2007 and 2008) and finished runner-up in the 2005 FIA Junior Rally Championship. The 28-year old driver won the RAC MSA Rally of Scotland last November, driving a Škoda Fabia S2000 in competition for the first time.

Phil, from Tywyn in Gwynedd, enters his eighth consecutive season as Guy’s co-driver. The 39-year old Welshman was British Champion in 2007, and his experience and skill will be of significant importance in the rallies which lay ahead.

Škoda UK Motorsport will contest selected rounds of the IRC, beginning with the opening round of the series, Rallye Monte Carlo (January 19-23). It will also defend its Rally of Scotland title (October 14-16).

Alex Lawrie : “At Alex Lawrie Skoda said we are thrilled that Guy and Phil have joined the Škoda UK Motorsport team and expect our loyal customers feel just the same. We are anticipating more people will come through our doors and sales to increase as rally fans see what great cars Škoda produces. We are backing the team one hundred per cent.”

The exciting new Škoda UK Motorsport operation is an official satellite team, working independently – but closely – with Škoda Motorsport. The car’s colour scheme will combine Škoda’s iconic motorsport colours of green, white and red with a Union Jack to highlight the proud UK team effort. The car was unveiled at Autosport International (NEC, 14-17 January).

In preparation for Rallye Monte Carlo, Guy tested a Škoda Fabia S2000 on asphalt mountain roads near Grenoble in south-east France just before Christmas, completing around 62 miles (100kms).

Guy Wilks: “I am very excited about the season ahead and driving for Škoda UK Motorsport in the 2010 Intercontinental Rally Challenge. Our victory in Scotland last year showed what potential the Fabia S2000 has. It’s a fantastic car to drive and it suits my driving style. This year’s programme has come together incredibly quickly, and everyone at Škoda UK Motorsport is highly motivated to succeed. You can guarantee that Phil and I will start every rally with one thing on our minds – and it will involve driving as fast as we possibly can!”

Robert Hazelwood, Head of Škoda UK Motorsport: “Our participation in the 2010 IRC brings added excitement to the brand, and we are looking forward to the season ahead. Guy Wilks, Phil Pugh and the Fabia S2000 rally car proved what is possible by winning last year’s RAC MSA Rally of Scotland. The IRC is a demanding series and the opposition is world class, yet we believe Škoda UK Motorsport has a strong package and the ability to do well at every rally we contest.”
