6 times runner-up
Thierry Neuville, a Belgian rally phenomenon that comes from a very poor family is on the brink of writing a fairy tale. The man never had any financial support from his family to get where he is now. Which is in fact already a miracle. Rally, like any motorsport is a very expensive sport, and almost always needs the input of lots of money before you can perform and profit from it!
That obstacle he already took, and luck hasn’t been on his side yet, 6 times he came in second in the World Rally Championship, 2 times third. Mostly because of crashes and car troubles at pivotal moments.
But this year is his, and if he doesn’t wreck his car tomorrow or Sunday he will become the World Champion Rally!
A major achievement for a simple Belgian with a poor background!
Congratulations, Thierry, Belgium is proud of you!
Sincerely,
