    Agree that Markko is one of the top drivers, lets hope that 'if' he does return he can prove his pace. The mitsubishi hasn't got the best reputation! Still think its all a rumour though....

    I belive its going to be quite competitive, it was not so bad in sweeden, and after that they have done a lot of work, maybe not a absolute top car, but hopefully on par with subaru.

    If the Subaru isn't improved drastically for next season, any car can beat them, meaning the Mitsubishi being one of them

    Autosport were reporting last weak that he had turned down the Mitsubishi drive. Martin has made no secret of the fact that he doesnt like the WRC at the moment. From the quotes of his that I have read he seems to believe that this year WRC became a sport for ametures as only 4-5 drives are actually paid.

    Very silly comments from Markko I feel. Rallying has always changed since it started with near standard road cars 50 ish years ago. If Markko was still in the WRC I don't think he'd be ****ting on the sport that made him who he is
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    Märtin has been vocally critical of the WRC for a long time, starting when gravel crews were banned and super-rally was introduced. He was still driving then, remember? :\

    Nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade (or are you under the impression that these are glory days for the WRC?), but I find it more than a little strange that he should now want to come back after all the stuff he's been saying for the past year. :\ If, indeed, he does.

    Rallying has not changed that much in the last year. If Markko had such a big problem with rallying at the time he should have taken up Morris dancing or something. Perhaps that's more his thing. Markko is probably just angry because he's on the outside looking in now.
