Marcus Gronholm tests Subaru Impreza WRC2008
Two-time World Rally Champion, Marcus Gronholm, tested a Subaru Impreza WRC2008 last week, and was reportedly three seconds quicker than regular drivers Petter Solberg and Chris Atkinson.
According to RallySport Magazine sources at Prodrive, the test took place on a stage in the UK. After the SWRT drivers finished testing in the morning and left, it is believed that Gronholm, Andreas Mikkleson and Urmo Aava were helicoptered in by Subaru, and tested the car.
Although it is not known what times were posted, the word around Prodrive is that Gronholm was three seconds faster.
Autosport magazine in the UK reported that Gronholm drove the car in a secret test, but Subaru World Rally Team managing director, Richard Taylor, declined to comment.
Gronholm indicated at Rally Japan that he was interested in doing a few rallies next year, however he all but ruled a full-time return to the WRC in 2009.

Gooooooooooooooooood
i hope marcus back again to kick the fucking ass of fucking loeb!!!!!!
Hopefully it will spice the team up next year!!!
aweseome he might drive for subaru ay =D
maybe that’s just what SWRT needs…to shake the team up a little…i reckon its getting a bit stale with the same 2 drivers for so long…both Petter and Chris are good but maybe having Marcus around will motivate them to perform better…it’s abt bloody time Subaru starts winning again and get back to the top where they belong…
