I don't want to paint too dark a picture but I think it is difficult to keep motorsport alive into the distant future. I'm a millenial and I literally have one single friend who is a petrol head....

This is the C3 WRC of jokes.

Meaning doing a donut is going to be part of a competitive stage?

Please elaborate.

Exactly. Besides, the Fords RX engagement is really not going too well. It seems to me that they just do it to brag around that they have Ken Block - and he is very very average at best. I hope they...

I have a feeling that they might find some sort of solution where Ford pays 2/3 of the budget Wilson plans with to keep Ogier and the car competitive and the rest with a main sponsor. If you look at...

Yeah, I read that too. Actually in one outlet I read he was negotiating with both the Ford HQ in America and Ford Europe and in another one they were talking about him being in contact with Ford...

Possibly M-Sport will get some backing off of Ford Europe and a main [German?] sponsor next season and they will announce the collaboration in Germany with Kremer driving a car with the next year...

I think the reason for the Kremer thing is that it is good publicity for Ford in Germany (they have a huge production plant in Cologne and Fords are really popular cars there) and the Germans love...

Don't be silly he's 34. This is Red Bull, where the product is a sad excuse for the marketing. They put Tom Cruise in an F1 car and they would invite the pope if they could. I bet Wilson doesn't mind...

Are we sure that they sell it just to get money? They are in pursuit of a couple of dozen millions.

I was thinking maybe Red Bull could become head sponsor of M-Sport, maybe with the brand name Red Bull M-Sport WRT with the livery on all three cars. A bit like their F1 teams. And yeah, I'm starting...

Just stop it with the abbreviations altogether. This silly internet slang gives me a stomach ache. The only thing worse than people writing whole paragraphs in shorthand is when they rape the English...

Question back to you: Why post worthless autism from news land?

You need a new catchphrase.

Nice one. :D

Nope. BREAKING NEWS - some rally got cancelled in some armpit in Britain that noone south of the channel ever heard of. BUY A COPY NOW!

Jesus. And we (well some of us) got all upset. Kudos to the ones that could smell the bait turd.

It could also be that Ford won't come back and Wilson closes down the shop.

Worst case scenario from my point of view.

Maybe we should start a thread called 'Road Cars Us Rally Nerds Like' or something. ;)

[hopefully the last OT]

Yeah you're making sense.

Though I can really live with the rather dull interior as long as it handles like an RS should and the benchmark for that is the Escort...

I'm sorry if I go completely off topic here but when the Mk2 Focus RS was released I was rather upset they strapped a 305 PS engine to a FWD-drivetrain - for the sake of cost. While the whole...

I can find no hint of them returning next year in this article whatsoever.

Very well put Lundefaret.

I'm torn on this.

On the one hand, employing local drivers to share test data would cost a lot of money and everyone is crying out to lower the expenses.

On the other hand, guys like Østberg...

That's sad. Good thing they had already started the transition-period with Seb Marshall though.
