Former Kronos team driver Xevi Pons has split with co-driver Carlos del Barrio. His new partner will be 34-year-old Spanish champion Xavier Amigo, who helped fellow countryman Dani Sola to five victories during last year's Spanish championship success.
FIA permission for Pons to replace Khaled al Qassimi in the MMSP-entered Lancer WRC for the Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo and the Uddeholm Swedish Rally has now been granted.
Pons and del Barrio, who had been rallying together for 18 months, parted company at the end of 2006 when Pons was unable to find a FIA World Rally Championship programme which enabled him to test before rallies.
Del Barrio, meanwhile, is waiting for Spanish champion Jesus Puras to finalise his plans to compete in Spanish rallies, possibly in a Citroen C2 or in a Ferrari 599.

The last sentence of this article is very interesting, a Ferrari 599 in the spanish rallies. I like that idea!
