Solide leader du championnat avant la prochaine épreuve à l’Europe Centrale, Thierry Neuville va avoir l’opportunité de tester davantage que ses rivaux pour le retour du championnat sur asphalte.
Le Belge est en effet engagé à l’Herbst Rallye en Autriche, du 11 au 12 octobre prochains avec 99,94 km à disputer sur asphalte. L’an passé, M-Sport avait déjà choisi cette épreuve pour aligner Ott Tänak en Rally1 et Adrien Fourmaux en Rally2.
Outre Neuville, cette épreuve va accueillir un gros plateau d’une centaine de voitures avec notamment 16 Rally2.
