Oliveira to show his best as he debuts with the MINI WRC

Daniel Oliveira is set to embark on another great challenge in his rallying career when he tackles next week Rally d'Italia Sardegna onboard the WRC version of the brand new MINI John Cooper Works.In his maiden World Rally Championship campaign the BWRT ace driver has left behind two rounds, and before taking this important step forward into the top level class Oliveira recaps his performances and tell us about his expectations for the fifth round of the series.
Two races two different challenges. What can you say so far?
Well, Portugal was important to settle in with the car and with the whole WRC’s atmosphere. It was three days of a smooth run, taking things calmly and trying to familiarize with the roads and the car’s handling as well. Regrettably in Jordan we couldn’t show anything, however, even in the most unfortunate situations you can learn something. I didn’t come to any certain conclusion of my participations, but I’m sure we need to improve and learn more.
And it’s worked to help PRODRIVE to develop the MINI John Cooper Works. How did you feel with that task?
It was difficult. We didn’t have the chance of carrying on a proper test prior to our debut, so we are not taking major risks in terms of the car’s setup; we are just making minor changes during the races. Nevertheless, I’m confident the car will prove all its potential in Sardinia. It will be a great change for sure.
