Thierry Neuville doesn't want his starring drive in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge to be a one-off and is considering further outings in the series next season.

Neuville, a German-speaking Belgian, impressed at the wheel of the BFGoodrich Drivers Team Peugeot 207 Super 2000 on the Belgium Ypres Westhoek Rally in June. He ran as high as fourth before crashing out close to the end of the opening leg of the event.

"I would like to drive in a car with more power next year so a Peugeot 207 in the IRC could be a good thing for me," said 21-year-old Neuville. "The level of drivers in the IRC is very high and there are some very good rallies but, at the moment, I have to cross my fingers because I do not have the budget to do this."

Neuville said he was also considering tackling Rally of Scotland, the IRC finale in November, but that it would depend on his Belgian championship programme.
