Kris Meeke: Intercontinental Rally Challenge Champion

English

By (author): Simon Mcbride

Kris Meeke and Peugeot UK defied the odds by winning the drivers title in the Intercontinental Championship in their rookie year. Kris has always been quick, but he has had a lot of bad luck along throughout his career. When Peugeot UK confirmed him as its driver, things looked up. However, on round one at Monte Carlo it went really wrong as Kris crashed out. But the team regarded this as a learning experience, and went on to achieve an unbelievable set of results, culminating in winning the drivers title. This book charts Meekes rise, and how he was mentored by another rallying genius Colin McRae. It tells of the support that Peugeot UK gave Meeke, and how he repaid the team with the title. When the chips were down Kris picked up several punctures, but he never gave up. His fight-backs in Belgium and Spain were incredible, and were what made him a real contender for the title. Meeke has a style that is almost akin to McRaes his speed and skill are phenomenal. This book is a tribute to a legend in the making. See more
