[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

[Tomi]

My speculation then:

Opens for Kimi in Citroen. Sordo in Ford.

How about Novikov and Rautenbach next year? Anyone?

What makes you think Sordo has easier to find budget to drive a Ford?
I think Prodrive acted a bit hasty, if Sordo cant find money they could have signed a proper tarmac driver for cheap price, together with PG it would have been best solution.

Novikov is looking for a WRC place. Budget will be the key factor for choosing the team

[alleskids]

Prodrive still has a second (or maybe even a third) seat vacent. Sordo would be a perfect man for the job, with all his experience of Citroen, and his (tarmac) skills. David Richard should immediatly call Dani.

In August there was news about Novikov negotiating with Citroën and Ford about a Citroën DS3 WRC and Ford Fiesta RS WRC.

Oh dear There are already few enough cars available, it'd be unfortunate if one has to get wrecked every rally.

It's a shame that Sordo won't be in a Citroen, but it's not entirely surprising... even on tarmac he's no match for Loeb and apparently no quicker than Petter. With Ogier's incredible improvement this year, Dani doesn't have much to offer Citroen.

As for Ford, I think they'll see how Mikko and JML perform on the first tarmac rally before thinking about giving Dani a try.

So you want to see still a lot of Citroën cars in WRC?

Sordo probably out for 2011.
Quesnel called him thursday to tell him. No budget

How bad can one team treat a driver.
I wouldn't be suprised if
Sordo would be beaten and Citroen says they did it.
I think that's the only thing they haven't done to Sordo.
He should've been treated better, ocs he helped Loeb quite a lot on tarmac.
