The future of the secondary Ford teams in the WRC

[Plan9]

I was wondering what the future was for the secondary Ford teams in the WRC for 2011 and beyond.
I realize that they were not able to produce any good results this year as they were using second-hand 2008 spec cars that had already been thrashed by Gronholm, Hirvonen and J-M L.
Therefore, my questions are:
Who will drive the Stobart and Monster cars?(does Petter Splberg have a future with either?)
What is the story behind the Munchi's team?
Do you think Ostberg will be any good next year?

Any help would be appreciated.

M-Sport should be closed and Ford should start their own motorsport program.. Just not as fiesta S1600..

All the drivers have been using cars used in previous rallies (and also crashed ones), not only the “secondary” team.

I don’t know! No!

What is the story behind the Munchi's team?

Ice cream!

Do you think Ostberg will be any good next year?

Yes!

M-Sport should be closed and Ford should put blue Ovals on the front of Citroens

Or back to Boreham and get Stuart Turner back to run things.

Easy,

1st step: send wilson jr to a desert island

2nd step: run factory team with JML and Petter, Second team with Hirvonen and Sordo (going up to first team on tarmac rallies) and keep Ostberg as a customer driver.

3rd step: win at least the manu championship

4th step (optional): if still cant beat citroen, talk to the finish rally mafia and sabotage the frenchies.

And of course keep selling/hiring cars to Block, Hening, Villagra, et al, to finance this master plan.

the 2008 focus was a very inferior car..im not expecting much from ostberg,henning or block...i also reckon JML may be a bit of a flash in the pan...hirvonen held leob to account last year much more thoroughly than he did this year

Good plan, you should take over M-sport today
