Northern Irish rally driver Kris Meeke is set to make a surprise return to the FIA European Rally Championship at the Rali Ceredigion event in Wales next month. The five-time WRC event champion will drive a Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 at the asphalt rally from September 4-6. This will be Meeke's first ERC appearance since Rally Poland in 2006, where he and co-driver Glenn Patterson finished 10th in a Citroen C2 R2 car.
Meeke's participation has been made possible through support from local businesses associated with the rally. In a statement, Meeke expressed his excitement for the challenge, acknowledging the strong competitors like Teemu Suninen, but remaining optimistic about the event. Meeke has recently been active in rallying, winning the Portuguese national championship in 2024 and the Hyundai i20 N Rally2 car, as well as the Donegal International Rally in June.
