The semi-final losers in 2002 were France and Finland. The French were first out of the traps for 2003, announcing a powerful team of Sebastien Loeb, Olivier Panis and Randy de Puniet and Finland has kept two of last year’s drivers, Marcus Gronholm and JJ Lehto, adding double Enduro World Champion, Samuli Aro.
