Hi, friends!
Julien Ingrassia make his career in the motorsport alongside Seb Ogier and it is a question if Ogier would win those titles with some other co-driver. Some combination in rally cars work perfectly and when comes to a change, you can see much worse results after that.
Seb Ogier decided for a part time program for this season in the World Rally Championship plus Le Mans series which is something where he saw himself after he has finished his full time WRC career.
Julien Ingrassia decided not to continue with Seb for the part time program and he took some time for himself after they clinched their eight WRC title at Monza in November.
But it seems that he was hungry of a motorsport adrenaline so he chose a new challenge. He will co-drive Mika Misano, a French competitor in a Dakar series. They won't wait for a January wheb Dakar Rally starts official.
They will start their stint in a Dakar series with Andalucia Rally on June 7-12 but Ihrassia hopes for some testing program before of that event.
He finds navigating much more difficult then in rallying but Misano is an ex.motorbike competitor and he knows about electronic navigating everything. And yeah, Misano finished 13th overall in January at Dakar Rally 2022.
Ingrassia will have a tutor in coach Stephane Orsier who will give everything of him to help Ingrassia to become better at Dakar navigating.
