Brilliant. Should he not succeed, you can always blame the car :up:

"Francois Duval has cancelled his private entry for Rally Ireland (November 16-18) after failing to secure a competitive drive for the event.

He also confirmed he had no plans to contest Wales Rally GB at the end of this month.

Duval has played an important role in Citroen Total World Rally Team's effort to bolster Sebastien Loeb's campaign to retain the FIA World Rally Championship title by competing in a Xsara World Rally car on three events in the latter part of this season. Citroen hoped he could finish each rally higher than Marcus Gronholm and thereby reduce the number of championship points Gronholm could earn.

He managed to pull off the plan in Germany, but failed to repeat the result in Spain and Corsica. Instead, Duval will compete this weekend in his home country on the Condroz Rally, where he makes his debut at the wheel of a Fiat Grande Punto S2000 car."

The last sentece sounds like Citroen has not enough confidence in him that he can beat Marcus, to pay for his entrance in Ireland :( .

Maybe they are afraid that Duval will win on the Irich rally?
Duval like that kind of roads and is very good on it. Look at the Condroz rally in Belgium today!
