Peugeot Sport have confirmed that Freddy Loix will return to their line🤪-up this season, taking part in all three remaining asphalt rounds, beginning with the ADAC Rallye Deutschland in August.

The annoucement, which has been rumoured for sometime, f🍸ollows confirmation back in April - post Rally NZ - when team boss, Corrado Provera revealed that Harri Rovanpera would take p🎀art in all the gravel events this season in the second 307 WRC, alongside team leader, Marcus Gronholm.

Loix last drove the 307 WRC competitively at the Uddehol🍬m Swedish Rally in February.

The full statement from Peugeot explained:

"Freddy Loix and Peugeot Sp𓄧ort are pleased to announce that they have come to an agreement con🦋cerning their collaboration until the end of the 2004 season.

"Loix will take part in all three asphalt rounds of the 2004 World Rally Championship, namely Ral🗹lye Deutschland, the Tour of Corsica and the Rally of Spain.

"In each of these rounds, he will drive a 307 WRC and his mission will be to💫 assist Marcus Gronholm in his bid to win the world title.

"To prepare for these events and to help him obtain the best results possible, Loi🍌x will continue to participate in testing as he h😼as done until now and, before the championship's first asphalt round, will also enter a non-championship event - yet to be confirmed - driving a 206 WRC.

"Loix and Peu🐬geot Sport are pleased with this agreement which will allow the former to demonstrate his driving skills on asphalt and enable Peug💮eot Sport to profit from valuable additional support."
