I believe Jarmo Lehtinen is working for WRC Promoter these days.

Meeke was released from his contract as soon as he was fired. He was always free to be able to drive whatever he wanted as soon as that happened.

As there was believed to be legal action by him...

I would be willing to bet that his fee for driving in Spain neatly matches the cost of a Polo R5....

I don't see why he's a risk.

Yeah, he has a quick car, but he's always had quick cars. He doesn't drive on the edge so as to cause much of an increased safety risk.

The Premier League is an English product.

International sports are not...

A national broadcaster would need to focus more fully on just their national drivers - something that the makers of an...

It's not a question of cost of the rights, for sure. Most sports would take no money to be on the BBC.

The BBC, like most state broadcasters, do not like to show sport that they do not produce...

Next year’s World Rally Championship looks set for two additional long-haul events, with Rally Japan expected to join Chile on a new-look 2019 calendar.
Japan will run a candidate event in November,...

Yes, but that was when he had the back-up of a year's payout from VW in his pocket...

I'm sure he gets money from them as well, but for sure he's on a nice contract from Hyundai motorsport, too.

Paddon for sure is getting paid - and well paid - at Hyundai.

To think any other way is naive.

VW was for 2017, too.

I bet Subaru, Suzuki and others were too.

It's called 'management'.

Meeke
Ogier
Sordo
Paddon
Evans
Latvala
Mikklesen (alledgedly with options)
Breen

Yes, but there are limited number of WRC car suppliers, anyone can make an R5...

Why would this surprise you?

They both want to sell cars / parts / services. That's 100% of the reason for their businesses....

Seems some WRC Promoter people were robbed at gunpoint in Cordoba.

I'm...

Indeed.

It's one thing to throw an extra car on a plane to an event, it's a different matter to have enough parts in the seafreight to service it...

Between him, Loeb, Block etc it seems that WRX isn't quite the scratch to the itch that everyone thought...

They're not an advantage, either.

As pointed out above, extra cars don't take away points from registered manufacturer points-scoring cars

All stages, from all events.

As i noted in the testing thread.

Watch this space for every stage from every event being done Live.

As teased by the windscreen on Jari’s car.

Apparently well known in the service park...

Isn't the commitment moving from Dakar to Rallycross programme? Hence why they've dumped the Hansen family and taken the programme in-house?

That doesn't mean they'll be allowed to publicly share timing and tracking data.

SIT wasn't, what makes you think this company would?

You can bet your life that won't be accessible for the WRC events....

Ha ha ha ha.

A new country that has never been in the WRC brings nothing 'new', but a country that was last in the WRC recently does?!

Didn't he say 'no more tarmac in Europe' as opposed to no more tarmac at all?
