Robbie Durant, the British co-driver injured in a crash on the Mabanol Sliven Rally in Bulgaria at the end of last month, 𒆙is expected to make a full recovery, it ha🐻s been confirmed.

Durant was due to undergo surgery in hospital in Plovdiv earlier this week on a cracked and compressed vertebra before flying home. His driver Harry Hunt was uninjured in🉐 the accident on the 11th stage of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge event.

"The most important thing is that Robbie's injury was not more serious and that he will make a fu𝓰ll recovery very soon," said team manager Iwan Evans. "He's in great spirits and we're already looking forward to Sanremo, where Harry will drive a Super 2000 car in the IRC for the first time.

"Following t🔜he accident the rally and me♔dical staff were brilliant, so we can't thank them enough."
