You gotta love these guys. The driver / co-driver's concentration during the race and their continuous commitment to learn about their cars is amazing. With every race delivering new challenges of road conditions, weather, accidents and mechanical problems they push hard and finish the job.

Sebastien LOEB (50), Mikko HIRVONEN (49), Chris ATKINSON (31), Jari-Matti LATVALA (26), Dani SORDO (25), Petter SOLBERG (17), Gianluigi GALLI (17), Henning SOLBERG (12), Matthew WILSON (10), Federico VILLAGRA (8)

BP Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team (81), Citroen Total WRT (79)
Subaru World Rally Team (50), Stobart VK M-Sport Ford Rally Team (37), Munchi's Ford World Rally Team (16), Suzuki World Rally Team (7)
