JML has a contract with Jouhki to manage him. It doesn't mean that Jouhki has contract with Ford, JML has, just pays a % to Jouhki for the management. Same here with Lappi and Even rallyQuote:

Next year is probably different. Even rally manage the negotiations for Esapekka’s behalf and Esapekka signing a contract with Skoda.
I don’t know where Cresta management fits in today but Esapekka is still on their list.

I think it's same like Mikkelsen he's normally also still under EvenRally management? Eventhough he's a works driver.
Totally agree, but we tend to forget that touring cars racing is in BMW's DNA, not rally.Quote:

They just kept around to prevent FIA sanctions related with the homologation process, but even this minimal WRC effort turned messy with the Motorsport Italia/Mini WRC Portugal affair.
Really, this WRC experience wasn't a joy for BMW. Good luck next time!
The whole prodrive/Mini partnership was a waste of time. Never had one proper competitive season.
Great that prodrive got some work out it, but from a championship point of view, time wasters!
Shoulda Woulda Coulda
The French company making/doing x-raid have got their funds cut off by BMW
Nokia WRC live app will be discontinued after this 2012 season.

JML signed with VW
