Raikkonen to contest another rally

(GMM) Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen is set to contest yet another professional rally.

The 2007 world champion entered two rounds of the Finnish rally championship in the winter, driving a Tommi Makinen-prepared Fiat Abarthe Grande Punto.

The Finnish media now reports that Raikkonen, 13th in the 2009 drivers' championship, will race the same car in the Rally della Marca on the weekend between the forthcoming Monaco and Turkish grands prix.

To take place in northern Italy's Treviso region, it will be Kimi's first asphalt rally.
