Henning set to try again, Galli out to avoid trouble.
With only four points to his credit this year, Henning Solberg will be gunning for a top-five spot in Jordan this week.
Henning season hasn't exactly really gone to plan so far and while he bucked the trend with a fifth place in Mexico, he was back in the doldrums in Argentina.
Indeed he retired from each leg, with rock impacts taking him out on legs one and three, while he was withdrawn from the afternoon stages on leg two to preserve his car for this week's trip to the Middle East, when he will again be nominated to score manufacturers' points for the Stobart squad.
"We will try again here in Jordan, it was quite unlucky what happened in Argentina but that is in the past and we have to focus on this rally now," said the Norwegian.
"I don't know much about the rally only what I have seen on the internet from last year.
"My engineer has done many years in the Middle Eastern Championship so I think it will be an advantage to have someone onboard who knows a lot about the surface already. We will be fighting hard again and hopefully we can get a top-five result in this rally."
Gigi Galli meanwhile hasn't had much luck on the last two events either and while he still managed to score in Argentina - and eventually finished in seventh due to the high attrition rate, he is hoping for a more trouble-free run this week.
"Rally Jordan enters the World Rally Championship this year for the first time so it is going to be brand new for most of the drivers," he added.
"We haven't been to the rally or to this country so we are particularly curious to discover it. Part of the route is below sea level which is going to be quite strange!
