Quebec City, Quebec -- The JK Motorsports Rally Team of Calgary Alberta's Janusz Komorowski Jr, and Stratford PEI's Malcolm Swann have returned to La Belle Provence for the second time in February following their disappointing results at the Perce Niege Rally in Manawaki PQ. The team hope to improve their performance at this weekend's Rallye International de Quebec.
The team suffered a terminal transmission failure that started acting up on the first stage and finally let go after only 5 competitive stages were completed. But with the transmission replaced, and the new high power Talon once again ready for the road, Driver Janusz Komorowski and co-driver Malcolm Swann are ready to tackle the Stages in Quebec again.
"Right now the Rally car is in perfect shape, we have a new transmission and a new clutch, and few other bits. The guys prepared it almost perfect for this event." said Komorowski after Thursday's stage reconnaissance. "The roads are very, very narrow, there's really high snow banks so if you're sliding you're bouncing the car off the banks. My goal fist of all is to finish, and secondly to finish as high as possible."
After a shortened first ride with his new driver, the veteran co-driver Swann is also optimistic about good results for the team.
"I expect a nice clean run," Swann said. "Janusz wants to finish, and that's the primary objective. If we can keep it between the snow banks I think it'll be a top 10 finish."
53 cars are entered in the Rallye International de Quebec which kicks off with a ceremonial start on Friday night and heads into the Quebec forests for Saturday and Sunday.
