New year, new ERC Junior car for Brož

Dominik Brož will get a new car for his FIA ERC Junior U27 Championship bid in 2017. The Czech is swapping his Ford Fiesta R2 for a Peugeot 208 R2 as he embarks on his second season in the young driver training category. He labelled his new mount "the perfect Christmas present".

"It's in our garage and is the perfect Christmas present for us," said Brož, who will continue to be co-driven by Petr Těšínský. "We are really happy that we were able to arrange everything to be stronger before the new season. I would like to thank my parents for their big support, same like to Petr, all our partners and our federation for their big help during this season."

Brož, who follows fellow Czech Filip Mareš by committing to next season's revamped ERC Junior series, placed seventh in the final ERC Junior classification in 2016, while his TMS Czech National Team was fifth in the ERC3 Teams' standings. He will begin his 2017 ERC Junior U27 bid on the Azores Airlines Rallye from 30 March-1 April.
