WRC: Chris Atkinson To Race Hyundai i20 In 2014 Rally Mexico

CHRIS ATKINSON

Australian rally ace Chris 'Atko' Atkinson will steer the Hyundai Shell World Rally Team's new i20 WRC racer at March's Rally Mexico. 

Announced as the team's second driver late last year - and scheduled to contest selected rounds in 2014 - Atko will compete in Mexico alongside lead driver Thierry Neuville.

Atkinson's elevation to the Rally Mexico event comes after joining Hyundai Motorsport in July 2013 as a test driver in the development of the i20 WRC car.
