ARGENTINA is the second of the 10 World Rally event that the Munchi’s Ford team will race this season.

And it sees the return of co-owner Luis Pèrez Companc, and co-driver Josè Maria Volta.

Federico Villagra/Jorge Pèrez Companc will be looking to add to their brilliant start to the year after a well earned seventh overall in Mexico.

Not only is this Villagra’s home nation event, but it is also based in his place of residence, Villa Carlos Paz, making it an even greater occasion for the Argentine.

With Companc out of a rally car since Wales Rally GB last December he recently undertook a one-and-a-half-day test in Cumbria’s Greystoke forest.

It was the first time he sampled the latest evolution of the Ford Focus RS WRC07 and fortunately dry conditions gave him a closer gauge to his home surface.

Along with his steady seventh in Mexico Villagra also won the opening round of the Argentine Rally Championship which he is defending the title of this year after two consecutive crowns in 2006 and 2007.
