Alonso’s efforts go far beyond making available to Cachón the Citroën C3 Rally2 with which he will compete in Belgium, since he has knocked on the necessary doors and has pushed to see his pupil in the ninth round of the World Rally Championship. The current CERTT leader’s commitment to the Spaniard is total and he wants to see Cachón in the best possible scenarios.
