Seat, Spain.  The Seat Ibiza supermini was first produced in 1984 and in his now in its fourth generation of design.  I think the car pictured is a second generation car produced after the 1999 facelift.  It is front engine, front wheel drive.  Seat is of course part of the Volkswagen group and the Ibiza shares parts with other parts of Volkswagen range such as the Polo.  The Ibiza has been a successful rally car and won the 2 litre WRC class championship in 1996, 97 and 98 in its Seat Ibiza Kit Car guise. 

This is the third year that Patrice & Nadia Leon have campaigned the Seat Ibiza.  Previously they rallied a Volkswagen Golf GTi for many years.  They frequently win their class.
