Markko Martin is set to return for the 2009 Richard Burns Memorial Rally, according to Motorsport News.

Rally director, Ken Paterson, states that he has recieved a verbal assurance that Martin will return to the event that the Estonian won last year alongside Richard Burns's former co-driver Robert Reid.

Martin drove a Subaru Impreza WRC2008 on the previous event but it is unclear what car he will drive this year.

Paterson commented to MN:

It's really good to see that so many clubmen are coming out to support this event again and we know it couldn't happen without them.

Because Markko has committed, it will hopefully encourage other top drivers to take part. It would be something new for spectators.

62 crews have signed up for the single-venue tarmac event which takes place at RAF Marham in Norfolk on August 15/16.
