However, I believe nearly all of last year's competitors are likely starters.
With final registration not required until close of entries for the second round, we've quite awhile to wait for 100% confirmation."Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting." Steve McQueen

Les Walkden Rallying should be back with at least Cody Crocker for 2007 since their efforts to do the PWRC have been knackered due to the lack of sufficient funding:

I hope Cody Crocker returns as that will make for a good fight between drivers & manufacturers (Mitsubishi v's Subaru)!"Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting." Steve McQueen

M-Sport had planned to run 4-6 Fiesta's in the APRC in 2007.. but no confirmations of the drivers yet..
and there is supposed to be a 4 car team from New Caledonia, the divers being Jean-Louis Leyraud as Hokkaido mentioned earlier, Daniel Palau, Patric Christian and Patrick Yanai..
Leyraud supposed to be driving a Subaru and the other 3 in Mitsu's..
Guessing there are gonna be 2 cars from Team MRF again, dunno the driers yet, Katsuhiko Taguchi maybe 1 of them..:bounce: Go Mikko :bounce: Go Petter :bounce:

Actually I think its Neil Allport running the fiestas, not M-Sport, but they are the same fiestas as run in the Fiesta Cup. Dunno if they have any entries in them yet though.
New Cal have announced they are running 6 drivers.
Jussi with MRF, Racetorque. I guess Katsu might be there again.
Cusco Racing will be back with I assume Yanigasawa.
No Wan Yu this year, their focus is on Chinese Rally Championship.
Cody with Les Walkden, but I don't think Eli Evans will be back. (so I have heard, but I'd love to be proved wrong)
Ray, is that the Bates, Evans Toyotas your hinting at????
Anyone heard any news from the Indonesian front??RIP Malcolm ;( Hope you have an audi quattro up there.

I guess when you have FIA approved S2000 cars, then Toyota can get more involved. Would love to see Simon Evans race overseas in the new car.
Wonder if Rally NZ would be on their radar too???? I bet Toyota NZ would like to see them there, as much as I bet the team would love to drive there.Happiness is using the side windows more than the windscreen
In reply to being asked what 240Kph on Watagans Road was like:-
\"Wait till I check my pants, I didn\'t know whether to sh#t myself or orgasm!!!\"
What?
