Prodrive sad to see Sordo go
Prodrive WRC Team principal Dave Wilcock has admitted he is sad to see Dani
Sordo leave the squad.
Prodrive WRC Team 經理 Dave Wilcock 對 Sordo 離開一事感到傷心
Sordo was confirmed as Citroen driver for next season by the French firm this
morning.

Soon after Citroen’s decision was made public, Wilcock paid tribute to Sordo,
who departs the British team at the end of the year. Sordo has driven for
Prodrive for the last two years, collecting all three of the MINI WRC’s
podiums.
在雪鐵龍宣布消息後，Dave Wilcock 讚揚在年底離開車隊的 Dani Sordo。
Sordo 在 Prodrive 在過去的兩年裡代表MINI上過三次頒獎台。
“Dani is one of the top drivers in the WRC and after his stunning performance
in Spain last weekend, I am not at all surprised that Citroen have snapped him
up,” said Wilcock.
「 Dani Sordo 是WRC頂級車手之一以及在西班牙站的驚人表現，我對他回歸雪鐵龍一事
一點都不感到驚訝，」 Wilcock 說
“It’s been a pleasure working with him over the last two years and his
experience has been invaluable to the development of the MINI WRC. Just as
importantly, behind the scenes he got on very well with everyone in the team
and whenever we were running two cars he was a great team-mate and not a rival.
Although we have faced many challenges, Dani always remained positive and loyal
to the team and I am only sad that we could not have given him his first win. I
know that he wanted to secure his first WRC victory in the MINI and had we been
able to confirm a full programme for him in 2013, I am sure he would have
stayed with the team.”
「在過去兩年與他的合作非常愉快，他的經驗對MINI WRC的研發上是非常寶貴的。
同樣重要的是，在幕後他對每個人都相處得非常融洽，而且每當我們出兩輛車的時候
他是一位偉大的隊友，而不是對手。
雖然我們面臨著許多挑戰，Dani Sordo 始終對團隊保持積極和忠誠，我唯一傷心的是
我們不能給他在WRC的第一場勝利。
我知道他想確保他在MINI的首勝，我們能夠為他確認在2013年的完整計劃
，我相信他會想要待在我們團隊。」
