Anyone knows who they are? I am expecting Toni Gardemeister to be one of them.

I really hope this comes to fruition, the Proton was really good to watch in Scotland and sounds nice too. The car is not yet there with the best but with a couple of decent drivers they could do well.

Nico Vouilloz should be among them.

I wondered whether Nicolas was possible. That's good news. I guess they are also looking for a driver with some personal sponsors and Nicolas has some...

Any more news on Mikkelsen's or Brynildsen's plans? I was hearing postive stuff r.e. Mikkelsen but its gone quiet now.

Eli Evans will run a JAS built Civic in next years Australian Rally Championship. Hopefully we will see more GroupR cars heading to the Asia Pacific Region soon.

The young Spanish driver Jonathan Perez will make some races in IRC or ERC (not yet known) in his Renault Clio R3.

Presume Duval is one of Mellor's "interesting" drivers?

I would still count Francois as interesting. He had a bad year and was surprisingly slow in the Punto on Sanremo, but they could do a lot worse than Francois Duval.

For MEM it could be a bit dangerous choice as they could easily run out of cars...
