Yeah, but thats with tarmac tires!

By size yes, but thread is "all-season" in those conditions mostly. Anyway pointless crap with a 380hp 4wd designed to go flat-out, not surviving at speeds close to zero. In Monte due to different conditions occasionally yes, but not in a winter rally.
It would be a shame if Cholmondeley goes from WRGB as it's so popular and easily accessible. If they replace it with another similar spectator stage then that's not so bad, but if not I think they will be losing a great promo for the event.
Auriol wants WRC?
http://www.lexpressmada.com/blog/act...n%E2%80%88wrc/
Auriol was part of teams from VAG, Ford, PSA and Toyota. He could probably get at least a R5 if he really wants.
Toyota or Ford for Auriol, please. Although I'd most rather see him in a Sierra Cosworth.
Auriol also says he won't do Finland, but maybe a tarmac event or a gravel rally he likes, such as Portugal or Argentina. He may resort to a 2016 car for the lower cost.
Grönholm just turned 50 and seems like he's passing the opportunity to do a birthday rally like Alen, Kankkunen, Vatanen, Salonen and Mikkola did before. At least he says he doesn't want to do Rally Finland, and Tommi wouldn't give him a car.
Grönholm said he would rather have done Sweden than Finland. So probably no WRC event for him
