If you peeked through the window of Thierry Neuville’s Hyundai i20 N World Rally Championship car last weekend at the Goodwood Festival Speed, you wouldn’t have seen the reigning world champion wearing his orange rimmed spectacles.
Instead, it was another Belgian, albeit a familiar face, in Neuville’s world championship winning co-driver Martijn Wydaeghe sat behind the wheel of the WRC weapon. Normally Wydaeghe is armed with his pacenote book, pencil and stopwatches, but for once these were put aside and the driving gloves were firmly on for a rare opportunity, just days before round eight of the championship in Estonia this week.
