WRC Testing

[A FONDO]

How many test days do they have for each year? VW seems to have tested for like 10+ days only in December for Monte and now started already for Sweden

42 days according to http://www.citroen-wrc.com/en/regulations/ > unveil "testing" down there

When is M-sport testing? No news yet? Isn't good...

Hirvonen says that they start testing after new year.

How many days VW can drive testing? Do they have more than 42 days because they have two teams?

T. Maanteiden kuningas was faster but despite that I post my own reply.

Mikko said on MTV’s web site that they will start testing in the beginning of 2014.

He also said that it has been an exceptional time because usual during November & December it has been a busy time with testing for Monte and Sweden etc.

Finnish -> English Google translation Google useless as usual.

An example:
Mikko said the two years in Citroen wasn’t a waste of time.

Google translation:
In spite of this Hirvonen to emphasize that two years Citroen has been a waste of time.

Off topic or not, I read in the last Saturday newspaper (Helsingin Sanomat) that Ford will hire 11 000 new workers next year. 5000 in USA and 6000 in Asia. Where is the decision made for Ford to be in WRC or not. Europe or head office in USA?

42 days for registered manufacturer team and 10 days for registered WRC team. I suppose that VW II is just a registered team so it must be 10 days.
