Martin returns to WRC cockpit at Goodwood.
Markko Martin will make a brief return to a WRC car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed after being enlisted to drive the Ford Focus RS Rally Car, together with team boss Malcolm Wilson and his son Matthew.
Martin has not competed in the WRC since the crash at the Rally GB that claimed the life of his co-driver Michael Park, but will tackle the new 2.5km rally track at the wheel of a Ford for the first time since he last raced for them in 2004, a season in which he claimed third in the driver standings.
