Who will replace Galli in New Zealand?

[Langdale Forest]

Galli will probably not be back this year so who will replace him?

[anders]

Andreas Mikkelsen....?

[Daniel]

I would say Duval. Not that i think he deserves it. But I would like to see a decent British driver in the car who can show Matty Wilson up for the waste of space he is.

Barry Clarke - got the experience and is ready to go just like in Jordan.

Duval was asked on WRR and he said that he wouldn't drive in NZ.

If they have to fill the seat I expect that it has to be a driver bringing money and a drive in NZ must be quite expensive due to transportation and it's not exately good for exposure due to the time differnece. I think they Stobart will end up driving only 1 car in NZ.

Cars are probably on their way to NZ allready. I would say Mikkelsen is a strong candidate, but maybe now Duval will say he will fall back to fourth only if he gets the drive in NZ... Or why not give Matti Rantanen the chance to show if he has the speed outside Finland???

Regarding Duval: How much say does Ford have over him in these tarmac rallies? The car is not an M-Sport car, as it's mostly run by R-Tec. He also has his own sponsors which would be more happy to get him on the podium than 4th (due to the advertising exposure).

Maybe so, but the guy with the laptop comes from M-Sport.

Would love to see Gronholm make a surprise appearance (although i know it'll never happen)
I would say Barry Clarke.

But another exposure and a rally paid by M-Sport / Stobart might be more attractive.

And Tomi has a point as well, power might be down for him tomorrow morning.
