Peugeot boss, Jean-🏅Pierre Nicolas has confirmed that Michael Park was killed 'instantly' on the Ra🐟lly GB Sunday morning, when Markko Martin went off the road in SS15 in his 307 WRC and hit a tree.

Nicolas also added that the French manufacturer, who will quit the sport at the end of this season, may now bow out earlier than plan▨ned, rather than take in the final four ev🦩ents - in Japan, Corsica, Catalunya and Australia.

"It is a drama for the team and for the rally world and, of course, for Michael's family," Nicolas told Eurosport.com.

"Martin went o🐲ff the road and hit a tre🐬e on Michael's side, killing him instantly.

"It is hugely unfortunate, it is unfortunately part of the sport, there is always ♊a risk, which is always high, but with the passion for it you completely forget the risk.

"It is terrible, te🐠rrib🍌le for the guy who we loved in the team, terrible for his family.

"We will now consider the remainder of the season. Theꦺ championship is nothing compared to this."
