GCK confirms pair of Prodrive Megane RX for 2018 World RX season

After various entries with other teams in the FIA World Rallycross Championship, Guerlain Chicherit decided it was time to change his approach and brought his own team, GCK, to the game. Things would get serious with the new Prodrive Megane RS RX, set to be revealed last weekend at Lohéac, but plans were moved for a 2018 debut of the car, although now with an increased program.

In fact the plans for GCK are on schedule as the participation with the Prodrive Megane RS RX would just serve as a preparation for the full time campaign next year, but as revealed by GCK themselves, discussions about the technical side if the project held back the parts involved, and this gap gave the opportunity to announce that Chicherit will bring another Megane along with his one next year, although no driver was confirmed and no estimated time for a driver announcement was given.

Chicherit himself is using this time until the Prodrive Megane RS RX is complete to improve his racecraft and to add more rallycross experience to be more prepared, and to do so he is switching between a supercar campaign with a Renault Clio RX, a partial effort in the RX2 International Series with OIsbergs MSE and some karting, all while attracting more partners to the project.
