a similar thing happened circa 96, McRae drove against Martin Brundle, who at the time drove for Jordan, and they exchanged cars for a test...
Brundle was almost as fast as Colin in the Impreza, and Colin was pretty fast in the Jordan too!
i doubt Ferrari would let anyone else than Rubens, Michael or Luca Badoer in the seat of the F2002, however... but if it's for a good cause, who knows!

I seem to recall that the Jordan team were astounded at how sideways McRae managed to get their car without spinning it.

That would be a really cool duel of the titans
Hope MS will respond positive

He should try Montoya.
It sounds to me like he's a bit scared about driving a rally car!

Michael did suggest that he would maybe want to do it, but that due to commercial considerations it wasn't terribly likely. I think he'd be good, but he's never struck me as driving like he's left his brain in the pit, which a lot of drivers did (Alesi, Berger, both Villeneuves), and that's probably required to be a decent rally driver.
Of course, it would be a different matter if Lancia were still rallying.

MS: "But, maybe one day I'll do it, if it's in a safe place."
He's just scared.

FIAT owns both Ferrari and Lancia, that would have been a marketing shot...
would you drive a Ford if your everyday car is a Ferrari? that's mainly why he refused... or maybe the team made him refuse. we'll never know, but he's lame, IMO.
