I wonder if VW will try to save money by not signing Latvala.
I wonder if 2013 will be like when Garde and Kresta were driving the Focus.

A new thread should be posted every time there is a major development. Otherwise why have a multiple threads feature at all?Quote:

Hardly a surprise. With all the issues around promoting the sport why invest millions into something only a small group of people watch. I'd suggest that Ford could be doing a Citroen here...they'll see how the new promotion goes and maybe put some funds M-Sport's way come 2014.
In the meantime M-Sport continues with the Fiesta and people have to pay more for it.
Bad news for Petter I think.
Still plenty of time 'til we know what will happen with M-sport in 2013 season. Even if they don't participate, at their place we will have VW. But I believe Malcolm will somehow succee to make an "M" team. And/or strong team in S-WRC.
If Matthew Wilson had never been put into a 5+ year plan, would Ford still be in the WRC next year?
Erm, no?Quote:
