He will be driving his new Ford Focus World Rally Car on the opening round of the championship on Saturday (16th February).
The car is left-hand-drive and more technically advanced than his old car.
He said:
"We've had a limited amount of testing in the new car, so the first rally will be a big learning curve.
"The left-hand-drive will take a bit of getting used to, and with a lot of strong competitors this year, it looks like it's going to be a great battle."
