    Regarding this topic, an interesting interview with Guy Wilks confirms that Peugeot Sport have made a big commitment to developing the 207 in 2011. I think this has been the real problem and not the presence of Skoda as a works team - the Fabia has simply been a better car this year.

    The only factory team allowed in IRC is Peugeot Sport. They camouflage it with dealer teams (UK, Belgium, Tjechie) but the main team is Peugeot Sport France led by Quesnell.

    12 months ago Meeke was given the same assurances. He would only sign for a further year if Peugeot Sport got behind the car and put some effort into developing it. It didn't happen. Hope it works for Wilks but I can't see him winning the IRC in 2011. Hanninen may only do some rounds which may help but on gravel the Peugeot needs serious upgrades and on asphalt Wilks has little chance against a well driven Fabia. He doesn't have the raw speed of Meeke, not going to be an easy season for the English driver.

    Well Mr. Quesnel , put 2 or 3 drivers into full factory car ( as if Meeke's wasn't ... please ) and the battle is on !

    He already does: Meeke/Wilks (Peugeot UK), Neuville (Belgium), Magelhaes (Portugal, Bouffier (Poland, Tjechie, and other local dealerteams)
    They al get tests with Peugeot Sport before rallies. Peugeot Sport is making a factory effort. disguised as pure dealer teams. Skoda Motorsport is playing the game openly with Skoda Motorsport.
    In 2009 Peugeot had 3 drivers with champions talent (Meeke, Vouilloz, Loix), in 2010 Meeke was the only champion contender, doing the bulk of the set up testing and develloping the 207 S2000.

    Even non-disguised Peugeot Sport works drivers (Ogier, Sarrazin, Bouffier) were present on Monte Carlo, Sardegna, Ypres, Barum and Sanremo and they all together achieved 5 (!) points.

    It's just funny and sad in the same time. Everything was ok when Peugeot was the only dominant force (2007-2009). I agree with You, that their biggest mistake was called Vouilloz and Loix...
