Subaru will not be back to WRC for a while, because they have the ambition to be a big player in the Dakar rally in the near future having big names in the team. They started this year in the Sertoes Rally in Brasil, and will be present in the 201 Dakar with the Forrester, built by Barrattero, and driven in the by Gabriel Pozzo (2001 GrN champion) and Yoshiu Ikemachi.
You're probably right from the linguistic point of view. But, as I think, in rallying word "evolution" has long stood for "generation" meaning. It's not a correct English, as you see, but "evolution" has a better psychological effect, because it means progress, movement forward, while "generation" is some kind of stagnation, and it's not the right word to describe rallying.Quote:

Peugeot also used "Evo" for distinguishing modifications of both the 206 and the 307. The original 307, which debuted in 2004, was Evo1, and the upgraded version was called Evo2. Rally-raid teams also tend to use this method of calling their competition vehicles.
I wonder how fast would be any finnish driver at the end of season in WRC ifQuote:

Depends on if the non tarmac rallies are Finland like typical surfaces with a bunch'o Swedish, Norway like winter events.
Otherwise a few points ahead of Sordo if not on par with the Spaniard and say, 15 points behind Loeb, without crashing out once in a while in a 12 events calender.
Not much change for the rest of the field except for Henning... ;)
According to Finnish MTV3 News Marcus Grönholm would make a comeback-of-sorts next year. Grönholm have comfirmed that he have negotiated with Wilson Sr about driving some rallies - but not all - with Ford. Sweden being the first option now.
Grönholm will drive at Solbergs Motorshow, Monza Rally and Bologna Motor Show before the end of the year.
Please take in consideration MTV3 News (at least rally news) are more over the top than rather facts only, so the truth behind this story could be that there's nothing new on Bosse constantly changing mind.
Somehow the buzz around Grönholm is getting annoyingly big proportions - or at least the frequency of Bosse on/ Bosse off news is reaching the limit that he seem to transform more into a PR act than a living rally legend. What's the profit - he does not have a team to run. I'd love to see him drive, I believe he still got it, but please make up your mind, Marcus!
