Bruun, who recently secured his first world championship victory by winning WRC3 at the Rally of Paraguay, confirmed to A Todo Motor that he will not compete in Chile’s Rally BioBío. Although he appeared on the entry list, he said he would miss the event. The same financial problem has also ruled out the Rally of Italy, which had been part of his schedule.

“We have no budget or support,” Bruun said. The 21-year-old explained that his father had carried most of the financial burden of his world championship appearances, but the arrangement could no longer support the next events.

Economically, the effort comes from my father, and at the moment we do not have the money to go racing.

The timing is especially difficult after his result in Paraguay lifted him to fourth place in the WRC3 standings. Bruun already knows the Rally BioBío and finished second in WRC3 at the previous edition. “After this victory, and wanting to go and win the Rally of Chile, we have no support” to continue in the world championship, he said.

After this victory, and wanting to go and win the Rally of Chile, we have no support.
