PWRC 2008, Who will the drivers be ?

[DonJippo]

Why does that have to be a typo?

Is there PCWRC in Mexico this year?

And, why would you pay the annual FIA championship fee if you are only going to run maximum 2 events?

Subaru Team USA will begin the competition on the second round, in Mexico, and will field two entries for Travis Pastrana and Ken Block, both of whom will compete in the Production category alongside a domestic championship programme in America.

I hadn't looked at the PCWRC schedule.

I don't think there was ever a doubt that if Mexico was a WRC that Travis and Ken would be there doing it, PWRC round or not. They want the recce experience, and there isn't a close, "easier", event with that many kms for recce practice...

Apparantly SRTUSA has PWRC entry with 2 drivers, 3 events for Travis and 3 events for Ken.
The events they elected to miss is Swedish and Finland (same weekend as X Games 14 or close by)
Would be interesting to see how Travis and Ken do in group N and on Pirelli

Really?
They have already entered Frisiero and Bacco. I think Ketomaa will be 3rd driver in Argentiina!

Frisiero is only entered by Motoringclub, the car (Mitsubishi Evo IX) is his and will be supported by G.Car Team. Motoringclub official drivers will be Ketomaa, Jereb, and Bacco

Edstrom (codriver of Pastrana) has apparently hung it up. Derek Ringer is listed as codriver for the US championship in Missouri next week.

This may be reflective of the downscaled PCWRC calendar.
