Duval to compete in Wales
Eurosport - Thu, 13 Nov 16:51:00 2008
Francois Duval has confirmed that he will compete in the final round of the World Rally Championship in Wales.
In the absence of regular co-driver Patrick Pivato, Duval will be joined by Denis Giraudet in Wales.
Giraudet was first on the scene after the accident in Japan and accompanied by Duval and Pivato to hospital.
"This is a great gesture by Denis and I believe that Francois couldn't have a better person sitting next to him for GB considering what they both went through in Japan," said Ford team boss Malcolm Wilson.
"Denis will also bring a wealth of experience with him and his presence will give Francois more confidence than anyone else.
"I'm also looking forward to him building on his last performance from Rally GB in 2006 which really impressed me."

How about Subaru having an end of year victory with a Suzuki 2nd - that really would be nice - SEB are you willing to be totally nice? Or you just cant help it - winning I mean!
Maybe Wilson will not have any rules for this final event. It would be nice to let the drivers do what they do without interferences. Welcome back FD and have a great race, try to keep it on the road theres a good chap, and Denis, bravo, great jesture and loads of courage. Go get em lads.
