Arai Motorsport
Driver :
Toshi Arai

Toshi had a challenging year in 2004, starting his own rally team in Japan. Right away the team looked strong, producing top class competitive cars. Toshi insists on the very best machinery, and his mechanics really put together the very best of rally cars. Toshi hopes to build on this high standard of preparation and and we may see him running a second car at some point throughout the year if the opportunity arises.
TOP RUN
Drivers :
Brice Tirabassi
Mark Higgins

TopRun have announced that their spec C is now well-developed and they expect a much better year in 2005 with Mark and Brice. Testing the new car has been a priority and all the reports are very upbeat. The Agnelli brothers have a wealth of experience in Production rally cars, developing their Impreza over the 2004 PCWRC series, and have now shown that the car is very quick on both gravel and tarmac. With the pairing of Mark and Brice, the team is hoping to be right at the front of the championship fight throughout the year. TopRun will be satisfied with nothing less than the PCWRC crown.
Syms
Drivers :
Aki Teiskenen
Hamed Al Wahibi

The team that provided Niall Mcshea with the winning machinery in 2004 are back with a Finn and an Omani driver this year. The squad now has a base in Belgium and we can expect to see the same high levels of competitive and reliable cars from this "international" team.
Autotek Motorsport
Driver :
Nasser Saleh Al-Attiyah

Nasser Al-Attiyah's team run by Ken Skidmore is arguably the best-presented and most efficient outfit in the series. This is evident in the busy schedule they run, balancing the PCWRC series and the very busy FIA Middle East Rally Championship (MERC); no easy task for any organisation. The team's targets are higher this year and with Nasser's experience now established in the world arena, we can expect this target to be achieved.
Barattero
Drivers :
Marcos Ligato
Gabriel Pozzo
Sebastian Beltran

The Argentine team of Fabian Barattero is one of the most experienced outfits running SUBARU machinery for many years. Based just one hour South of Cordoba city, they have to travel intercontinentally for every round of the series except their home event - which is, of course, on the doorstep. Barattero won GpN with Gabriel in 2004 ARGENTINA RALLY so we know the cars. The team and drivers are all competitive, and must be regarded as one of the strongest line-ups in the series.
