Francois Duval’s new Structo livery, Mikko Hirvonen conducts asphalt test in UK whilst Citroen gravel test in Spain

Francois Duval, who will be contesting the final three WRC tarmac events for the Stobart Team, had the new livery unveiled recently. Steven Vergalle will finance the deal and Structo will continue to be the main sponsor despite Vergalle recently selling the company. Vergalle also owns the 07 Focus Duval will use as bought the car from M-Sport.

Duval will be co-driven by Patrick Pivato (who has partnered Duval before) as Eddy Chevaillier, Duval's navigator on Monte Carlo, is committed to sitting with Peter Van Merksteijn Jr in an Evo on forthcoming WRC events.
