SEMENUK TO MAKE WRC DEBUT IN LATVIA

Two-time American champion Brandon Semenuk will make his World Rally Championship debut at next month’s Rally Latvia.

The Canadian will drive a Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 on the Liepāja-based event and heads to Europe in search of more experience and even more speed to further his American campaign.

“This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while,” this month’s Southern Ohio winner told DirtFish. “Competing in Europe is obviously going to be different to what I’m used to. Latvia is a good event – it’s obviously new to the WRC, so it does bring a little more of a level playing field. That said, there’s so many fast drivers in that area, like even the national championships are really strong.
