Marcus Gronholm has signed a new contract with Peugeot Sport that will run until the end of 2006.

The Finn, who won the World Championship in 2000 told BBC Sport Online: "I've got a deal until 2006, but maybe I will stop before then because that would make me 38."

He added: "It's nice to have the deal sorted out."

"The work we have done with Jean-Pierre Nicolas (rallies director) and Corrado Provera (team principal) has been excellent."
