What will Brandon Semenuk bring to the World Rally Championship? An all-white car and a BMX.
Expecting more than that? Don’t.
The Canadian has long hankered after a chance to check out the WRC. A flying visit to last year’s Central European Rally confirmed he needed to be back. Soon. And wrapped in a rally car. And, next time out in Latvia, it’s happening.
I’m delighted for him. But I’m also understanding of his aims and objectives in Liepāja.
It’s not about setting the world alight and dominating WRC the way he’s ruled over American rallying for the last two and a half years. That would be silly.
He’s coming to see what the WRC’s like. Of course he’s interested in his pace and you can bet your bottom Canadian dollar his eyes will search straight for the board with the numbers on when he arrives at the stop line on the first stage.
