I am not too confident in Gigi Galli's driving. He always looks like he is about to crap himself when he is running the stages, so it does not seem like he is confident with his driving either. But he has been finishing near the podium this year.

Rovanperra is the other current Mitsu driver that I do have faith in, but his career seems to be going downhill lately.

As far as I can tell from the coverage, Galli and Rovanperra are actually backed by Mitsu and driving some type of prototype. I have never heard mention of them being privateers (privately backed teams).

And to the guy who asked, Makkinen did drive for Subie after his time with Mitsu.

But, this all reminds me that I need to catch up on my WRC coverage. WRC was a big influence in purchasing my Evo.

^ yup, Galli is good but always seems like sooooo on the edge, hehehehe. But hey I am sure he'll get better. Panizzi I liked alot more but then he is with some other works team now as is Rovanperra.

Mitsu is ruling the PWRC this year though which is nice, ...the REAL evo's, ;-)

you apparently don't watch wrc... as subaru is what's **** right now. for the amount of rallies run subaru has more failures than mitubishi does. mitsubishi just isn't in the running, no budget, no desire from the company.
