Stephane Prevot Joins Subaru World Rally Team



Subaru World Rally Team managing director Richard Taylor added: “Finding a suitable world-class co-driver partway through a season is never an easy task, but Stephane was a logical choice. His vast experience, allied to his knowledge of the way our team works, means he will be able to fit seamlessly into our driver line-up. We’re confident he and Chris will work well together and expect them to be in contention for a strong points finish in Argentina next month. ”

Prevot replaces Glenn Macneall, who recently stepped down and returned to the southern hemisphere to concentrate on business and personal commitments.
