Double World Rally Champion Marcus Gronholm has decided to come out of retirement to contest April's Rally Portugal in a Subaru Impreza WRC.
The Finn, 41, will drive a latest specification Impreza run by Prodrive, with backing from Rally Portugal and its sponsor Vodafone.
He will be co-driven by his navigator since 1995, Timo Rautiainen. The appearance - which for now is being billed as a one-off - will be Gronholm's first entry in a WRC rally since his retirement after Wales Rally GB in 2007.
Gronholm's car will be an evolution of the 2008 model used by Petter Solberg and Chris Atkinson on Wales Rally GB and will be fitted with Ohlins dampers.
