The organisers of the Rally d'Italia Sardegna published the official entry list for their event this week, the sixth round in the 2008 FIA World Rally Championship.

58 crews are due to start the round, which runs from May 16-18, with all six manufacturer teams in action.

In addition to the usual 'works' entries, Conrad Rautenbach and Urmo Aava will both be at the wheel of PH Sport-run Citroen C4 WRCs, while Mads Ostberg will compete in an Adapta-run Subaru Impreza and Andreas Mikkelsen and Peter van Merksteyn will use Ford Focus RS WRCs.

Of the rest, all 18 runners in this year's FIA Junior World Rally Championship category have nominated Sardinia - and while Vilius Rozukas is listed, he will not be in action. The Citroen man missed the Jordan Rally last weekend due to a problem with his sponsors and as a result, he has been excluded from the 2008 JWRC in accordance with the FIA's regulations.

Another 23 runners meanwhile will also take in the round, including eleven set to battle it out for Group N honours and six for the N3 class victory.
