Gorka Eizmendi and his KNZ Proservice team are facing a new season that is looking interesting. The Basque rider has shared a few minutes with Tramalón to chat about his possible sports program for 2021.
Gravel rallies will be the priority again. It would be with the Skoda Fabia R5, in the renewed Spanish Cup on the surface: “Our idea is to carry out the Spanish Cup of Gravel Rallies with the Skoda Fabia R5. Of course, as of today, the agreements are not closed, but it’s the idea“, he highlights.
On top of that, fans could once again enjoy the Orio rider’s spectacular driving on asphalt. This is how he puts it for 2021: “I would like to run some asphalt to test, either with the Ford or with the Skoda. I don’t know if we will do it in the Basque Country, since at the time we had discrepancies with the Federation. If I feel like it here I will run, otherwise we will go wherever we want to enjoy the weekend”.
Eizmendi is clear that “the future of rallying” is in the mixed Super Championship. An interesting idea, but not feasible this season: “We would like to do the SCER, but currently the format is not viable for us. There are many races, it is crazy. If I would like to in the future“, reveals.
His return to the asphalt would be related to this issue: “I want to start preparing the asphalt little by little. If the SCER format would be more reasonable in future seasons, we would like to do it. We hope they will reconsider and schedule another more interesting championship. Four races on asphalt and many others on gravel”, he proposes.
KZNProservice continues to grow
The new project, presented at the Tierras Altas de Lorca 2020 Rally, continues to progress and progress. “We are taking it very seriously to give the best possible service. We prefer to give few but good services“ Eizmendi emphasizes.
Juan Carlos Quintana was one of the drivers who trusted the team for his rallys in 2020. This year it will continue to do so. Of course, with more confirmed customers: “We will hire the Skoda for several drivers. One of them will be Iban Altuna in various races of the Basque Championship”, as we published in Tramalón.
The Fabia R5 already has the asphalt “dress” and is ready to start adding kilometers: “This week we will start with a double day of testing with Altuna. We are looking forward to starting racing this year and starting to close our program for 2021 .
