Polish website autoklub.pl reports that Paolo Andreucci has been confirmed as the replacement for Luca Rossetti in the Peugeot Italia team to contest the 2009 (CIR) Italian rally championship.

Andreucci will be piloting a Racing Lions prepared Peugeot 207 S2000 with the aim of retaining the Italian championship title. He won the title last year in a Ralliart Italy run Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9. This will be the second time that Andreucci has driven for Peugeot Italy as he was previously in the team  between 1991 and '93.

Meanwhile, Ralliart Italy will run the five Pirelli Star Drivers on six rounds of the world championship next season in a fleet of Mitsubishi Evo 10s, according to Motorsport News.
