Late in 1999, Fiat announced their return to the International Rallying spotlight. It had been six long years since the Group withdrew from World Rallying with the all conquering Delta Integrales. Now they returned with the Punto - targeted at the World Junior Rally Championship for 1600cc cars and under 28 year old drivers. Behind the car the Group had pooled elements of the Chivasso based Lancia performance engineering, including the remnants of Abarth within Fiat Auto Corsa. This has become N Technology who continue to carry out development and testing today.
