How Fuchs flew the flag for Peru
Story from www.wrc.com
But last weekend, the country added rally driving to the list of its national treasures, as Nicolas Fuchs became the first Peruvian to claim victory on a round of the FIA Production Car World Rally Championship.
Driving a Symtech Racing Subaru Impreza, Fuchs maiden victory placed him into title contention for the next and final round in Spain, where there will be a thrilling six-way fight for the coveted crown.
This win means a lot for me and my country, he said. Were now in a position to fight for the championship although realistically its going be tough. But weve already seen that anything can happen on this series - so were certainly going to be giving it our best shot!
Among the people to congratulate Fuchs at the finish was Subaru Tecnica Internationals George Donaldson. I know just how tricky these stages are, so Nicolas has done a great job to become the first Peruvian to win a major international event like this, said Donaldson. The fact that he did so with no problems, on stages that are notorious for being harsh and catching out even the worlds top drivers, just underlines the strength and quality of the cars.
