JK Rally Team » Korhonen vows to win 2013 BRC
Reigning MSA British Rally Championship Pirelli Star Driver Jukka Korhonen has announced today that he aims to be the first Finn to win the BRC since Marko Ipatti in 2000. The declaration came at the launch of his 2013 programme at the Helsinki Finnish Motorsport Show, where he unveiled the Citroën DS3 R3T in which he and co-driver Marko Salminen plan to make their assault on the championship.
The 28 year old from Siikajarvi will contest all seven rounds of the BRC, as well as Rally Finland, at the wheel of the DS3 run by the UK’s Autosport Technology, the team behind Keith Cronin’s 2012 BRC title.
Bringing plenty of rallying experience, he first competed in the British Rally Championship in 2011, when a one-off appearance on the Pirelli Rally was sufficient to secure him a place in the Pirelli Star Driver Shootout – proving his pace there with victory.
Now, with a season at the wheel of his Pirelli-funded Skoda under his belt, he says that he is ready for a title assault:
- My focus next year will be the British Championship. It is an important step to move forward in rallying and I am looking forward to driving the Citroën DS3 and working with Autosport Technology. They have proved many times that they can win and I think together we can take the title.
- I have made my first test with DS3 on gravel and the feeling of the car was impressive. Now I know why these cars were quite much faster than R2 class cars I drove this year.
1999 British Rally Champion driver Tapio Laukkanen was at the launch and said:
- We Finns have been drawn to rallying in Britain for many years and I think it is still the best domestic championship in the world. The move to two wheel drive has revitalised the series and I believe that it is the best place for up and coming drivers.
- I obviously hope that Jukka can add his name to the trophy. It has been a long time since me, Kaj (Lindström) and Marko (Ipatti) won and even longer for Pentti (Airikkala), Hannu (Mikkola) and Ari (Vatanen).Photos: rallirinki.kuvat.fi | Twitter: @HartusvuoriWRC

Keith Cronin & Elfyn Evans hopefully won’t be in the BRC – they’ve moved on from that – they should be doing International events. And, what’s happened to Bogie??
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
