even on his website he got a Subaru!

great to hear he's part of the SWRT.... think the 3 car team will continue onto other teams rather then a whole bunch of random teams of the same cars (shapes not years - don't want to start an argument) giving drivers more opps though there are still a few missing! least he's back in action and I want to see if he might out do atko for the drive next year!

even Citroen want a 3rd car but have no money (probs all going to Loeb?)

That's good news for him but he is ina difficult position right now. The car is not that good and the driver.... well... he's got lots to show.

I hope he brings new life to it.

For sure the car isnt great but to be fair to Pons, we had him all written off last season early on, but when he was paired against Sordo late in the season he held up well, great to see another car out there, hope it goes well for him

The 27-year-old will drive a third Subaru Impreza WRC2007 for the last eight rallies of this year - starting with Rally Finland on August 3-5 - as a precursor to a full campaign in 2008, when the team will continue fielding three cars.

Were do you read that next year also wil see 3 works Impreza's ? I can only read:

So then either Solberg or Atkinson will have an other job next year.

Why? Subaru want to have a paying 3'rd driver.

That's exsagtly what it says, ore maybe you mean that Atkinson will drop out as he has been in talks with Suzuki?

I never thought Pons has connections with SWRT, but when your family has the cash, you can open any door you want, right? I think they're quite desperate for cash (maybe Prodrive is focusing on the F1 project?). All in all, Pons is a decent pay driver.

Many say that he underperformed as Loeb's team-mate, overlooking the fact that his car was prepped by Kronos, not by Citroen Sport (like Loeb's).

They are good news for all, since Xavi obtains a new opportunity, Subaru an tarmac specialist (like Sarrazin) and "whopper-money", and we more a new car in the stages
