Markko Martin has caught the rally bug again

Markko Martin has admitted that he has got his thing back for rallying in the run up to the Mac Croc Rally Estonia.

Martin will use a Ford Focus WRC03, the same model of car that he won his first World Rally in. Originally he was linked to a Subaru Impreza S14, but this never came to fruition.

The big, big problem is there are not many seats and it’s very limited what people can do. It’s unfortunate [the WRC] has gone downhill but hopefully in the future there will be some new manufacturers and maybe rallying will start again.

"I’m not that old but I have been away from rallying for five years, which is a long time. But when I drive cars again, I really like it and I’ve definitely got the taste for it.” said Martin to maxrally.com.

Martin's last outing was in a Subaru Impreza S14 on the Richard Burns Memorial Stages backed by the Subaru World Rally Team. Martin was Subaru's test driver in 2008 with the short-lived S14 project.
