Irishman, Callum Devine, is confident that his ERC performance in Hungary late last year was no fluke.
The 25-year-old finished in third place in November's Rally Hungary against a strong field of R5 entrants.
Seeded 15th in the event, he moved up into third, just ahead of eventual champion, Chris Ingram.
“Hungary opened our eyes last year, it was a strange kind of event but to set competitive times at that level in a new car, in horrendous conditions made us realise we can mix it at this level,” said Devine, who will drive a Hyundai Customer Racing-supported i20 R5 in 2020.
“I’m under no illusions about how tough this year will be, but everything is coming together to give this a go,” he added.
The ERC calendar has undergone some changes due to COVID-19, but is due to start at Rally Liepaja at the end of May.
