Peugeot Sweden are to shut down their rally operation with immediate effect leaving Patrik Sandell to look for another seat in 2009, according to Swedish website zport.ze.

Sandell, who drove a 207 S200 in the PWRC for Peugeot Sweden this year, dosen't have any concrete plans for 2009 in the wake of the news. He also drove a Renault Clio R3 in the JWRC and a Skoda Fabia WRC on some rounds of the Norwegian rally championship during the year.

He has been in contact with Peugeot France as he would like to continue in a car that he knows well. In addition, he is also having talks with Abarth and Skoda about possible seats.
