Subaru believe Sarrazin could be a future world champion

Frenchman Sarrazin made an impressive rally debut last year after five seasons as test driver at Prost and Toyota, finishing fourth in Catalunya.

And Atkinson earned a chance at Subaru after his strong fifth-place finish in his home rally in Australia.

Both will look to learn from team-mate Petter Solberg, the 2003 champion, as they compete to secure their futures.
