Stages can only normally be used twice.

To find a third loop would be expensive and difficult for organisers (equipment, markshalls etc)

If he's worried about getting in trouble, then he's just a mouthpiece for other people...

No, I reckon it's Mikkelsen to do the rest of the season in preparation for 2018. The reference is to Mikkelsen saying he was doing French lessons. And the reference to Spain entries closing.

As...

For sure the main reason is that they have VW Motorsport in Hannover that is just sitting around doing nothing - and with all staff with their jobs guaranteed by the Board - that they need to keep...

But if the teams are getting paid for the events, isn't this the ultimate answer for expanding the calendar?

Isn't Colin a paid employee / contractor of WRC Promoter through his work with Rally Radio?

None of this should be a surprise that he's a bit of a mouthpiece for their PR spin...

I'm not sure that Ogier has many options.
Same with Andreas.

At least M-Sport seems to want Ogier.

That happens a lot.

Isn't Rally GB having a stage on Thursday night as well?

Not for homologation for next year if they stick to the usual deadlines, and VW (the company) agree to the usual commitments.

Seems Chile is on the horizon....

No, he's running his own 2016 car, surely? Fiona?

Given the problems on Rally Argentina, it's interesting to see that the job for Timing and Tracking is back up for grabs...

I can't imagine the accident in Monte was a big motivator...

Surely if he has a sponsor / team to run the 2017 VW, then he can just transfer to the Ford, for example?

Why is driving the VW so important?

Seems a strange argument.

Apologies if posted elsewhere, but this is pretty good:

jparker you miss the point.

VW have already missed the boat when they didn't homologate the car, and didn't enter Monte Carlo.

That means they're out.

Any attempt to bring them back in -...

The biggest problems remains the same.

So far, the car is not allowed to be homologated, regardless of whether there was money there or not...

Exactly.

Homolgation costs would have to come on top of that.

If I was a team boss, there's no way I would let a non-registered manufacturer compete with their cars that could potentially beat mine.

There is no upside to the other teams here.

Meeke ripped a corner off his car and left it not looking to clever.

You've all missed the point that they'll be in '17 cars.

They're not in the WRC Trophy.

No chance.

I wonder if maybe there are problems with the financing of the DMACK deal.

There have been whispers about this for a while.

The 2016 VW Polo's are still an option for anyone who wants one.
