2002 WRC Privateers

With the new rules introduced for this year, we will only have a maximum of 30 WRC cars on each event. As there can be a maximum of 21 works cars (3 each from the 7 teams), that leaves only 9 entries for the privateers. With that fact in mind, If you could choose 9 full-time privateers (Because they won't all do a full season) for 2002, who would they be?

Mine are:

Harri Rovanpera
Didier Auriol
Manfred Stohl
Achim Mortl
Armin Kremer
Hamed Al-Waihabi
Fabrice Morel
Gregoire De Mevius
Jesus Puras

Are Peugeot running Rovanpera and Panizzi as last year!? If so one will be in the works car, and the other in a private machine!?

Gilles Panizzi is definately in a works 206 WRC, but Rovanpera is in a Bozian 206 WRC (They are the team that took the contract from Grifone). So I suppose he's semi-works/private, because this year the works teams can't run more than 3 cars on an event.

Panizzi and Rovanpera will both drive a number of rallies in the Peugeot works car. The rallies they don't use the works car they will be in either a private car or a relaxing chair at home

And Gregoire de Mevius won't drive a WRC rally anymore...he has announced his retirement from it and will only do Cross Country Rallies like Dakar

Am guessing that Panizzi will have the car in Monte?

Plus Corsica, Catalonia, San Remo, Deutschland - and Rovanpera drive the other events as he is more of an allrounder!

Apparently Didier Auriol has given up hope of returning to a full-time WRC drive.

"I don't think I would want to do 14 rallies again," Auriol says in this week's Autosport magazine. "If there was a partial programme with a manufacturer I could be interested, but for the moment nobody has asked."

Auriol plans 'one or two' more rallies with the Toyota Corolla WRC he used in Monte Carlo.

Must admit, I think it's a real shame - I'd have thought that Didier still had losts to offer teams (now maybe if Subaru were running more than two cars....)
