Richard Burns' co-driver Robert Reid will take a break from the World Rally Championship next year. Reid's future was in limbo after former world champion Burns was diagnosed with a brain tumour, ruling him out of the 2004 season.
Now Reid, 37, has announced he will take the opportunity to rest, although he hopes to attend some events next year in a different capacity.
The Scot said: "The first thing I want to do is actually recover from the past few seasons. I've got a bit of a back problem and I want to get that sorted out. Hopefully a few opportunities will come along. I don't want to go to every rally next year though."
