McRae to do Dakar for Nissan again

I also heard a rumor that McRae might drive in more cross-country rallies for Nissan next year as well. If so, awesome (he might help that championship take off. If not, this single drive is still cool news.
After competing in the Dakar for the first time at the beginning of this year, Colin McRae decided to renew the experience for 2005, once again with Team Nissan managed by Gilles Martineau.
Nissan has yet to confirm the news but the Spanish and British press are already spreading the information.
Three new Nissan Pick-ups will be entered in the Dakar. One or even two of these trucks will be tested in Dubai with Giniel de Villiers and Colin McRae. The third machine should be driven by Ari Vatanen, if his career in politics doesn't intrude too much with his schedule.
Possible replacements for the Finn include Nissan test driver Pierre Lartigue, Gregoire de Mevius and Josep-Maria Servia.
