Briti🅺sh Junior champion, Conrad Rautenbaꦇch has confirmed that he will use a PH Sport-run Citroen C2 Super 1600 car this season, when he returns to the Junior arena for a fourth year.

Rautenbach, who will continue to receive su🌌pport from Jardine Lloyd Thompson, will again be co-driven by David Senior and the 22-year-old is hoping that the well developed Citroen will help him add to the successes he managed in 2🎐006, which included a string of podium finishes.

The Zimbabwean looks set to have a busy season, as he will dovetail his JRC programme with selected outings in the Tesco 99 Octane MSA British Rally Championsh🧸ip and will use the same Citroen C2 on the Pirelli Rally, the International Rally Isle of Man, and the Ulster Rally in Ireland as well as also competi💞ng in the season's finale, the Wales Rally GB.

His busy year begins with the Rally of Tanzania, the opening round of the FIA African Rally Champion💯ship, which takes place during the second weekend of February. Rautenbach is hoping to do up to five rounds in Africa at the wheel of his Subaru Impreza N10 with a planned reꦫturn to defend his title at home in Zimbabwe as well.

"I'm really looking forward to 2007," he noted. "I learned a lot last year and think that staying with one car for both the JRC and the BRC will benefit me a lot more. It's a busy scheduไle but I love rallying!"

Geoff Jones Motorsport meanwhile, who ran Rautenbach's Renault Clio S1600 in 2006, will continue to help the 22-year✨-old with car set-up aiming to build on the lessons learnt last year.
