An agreement has been just finalized with Nicolas Vouilloz, the new driver of the "First-FFSA-Subaru France-Michelin" and Patrick Pivato, who took the right-hand seat of Subaru WRC last year.

"It is super, I am very happy" commented Patrick Pivato, "Firstly, because I again will work with First Motorsport and all the team.  Secondly, it is a challenge which I like and which will enable me to help another young driver.

42 years old, Patrick Pivato disputed his first rally with the "Tour de France Auto" 1981 and he was the team-member of Simon Jean-Joseph, Serge Jordan, Bernard Beguin, Eric Mauffrey and Stephan Sarrazin last year after a three year interruption during which he had been involved in automobile preparation.
