Tommi Mäkinen describes driver line-up rumours as “completely untrue”...
'Juho and Esapekka belong to that group, and there are also Teemu Suninen Thierry Neuville , some from the British Isles and a couple of friends from the French side, Mäkinen lists.'

So Evans, Breen, Lefebvre and Bouffier (or Chardonnet)?

This is pretty interesting. The strong rumours have always been Lappi/Hanninen - so for Tommi to come out and say it's "completely untrue" would seem to imply at least one of those drivers won't be with the team next year. Otherwise you'd just say "nothing is confirmed yet". Or say nothing at all.

DMG, Panasonic, Toyota and Microsoft. Very nice to see big business back the WRC.

Using the WRC program to present this partnership with Microsoft it’s a clear sign of Toyota’s commitment. Hope all the skeptics starts to take it more seriously.

I question what is Microsoft
Someone answered that it gives the car windows
I don't like the livery, and I hope they won't have to reboot the car all the time!

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
