[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

[crossfades]

Sad news, PG will not drive in Sweden. According to VF Proton is focusing on developing a R5 car

[Bartolbia84]

No heavy!! I didn't know that Proton was deploying the R5!

[crossfades]

the* R5 car, sorry

[Bartolbia84]

Heavy absences for Sweden, Sandell, Flodin, PG ... hopefully Tidemand face a beautiful race, and an excellent pilot in my opinion.
You know nothing about her future? Wrc academy or back in the WRC-3?

Clearly much depends on how HE performs in Sweden

[crossfades]

I read some rumors a while ago that he would do JWRC but I haven't heard much since

bad news that PGA isn't on start ... but if Proton is developing a R5, that's really good news !

Was it not a bit of a joke the PWRC last year?
I mean he is certainly a better driver then me, but targeting to fight for world championship after winning PWRC with nearly no competition, seems to be quite optimistic!

Optimistic or not, you have to sell the idea to your sponsors to go for it and not be a participant.


Furthermore Benito nobody believed in when it came to Spain and was champion, nobody believed him when he started in PWRC and now no one (including me) believe they can be world champion in the second year.


I hope we cover our mouth

I think it is only a good thing that we have good and developing driver behind WRCar from the other side of the ocean :-)

Indeed the WORLD championship needs input from more European drivers. Yankie Block is doing some fine PR stuf with his Hollywood script stunts, but WRC needs also serious input from outside Europe
