WRC2 and WRC3 season 2014

Gilbert will do WRC-2 with a Fiesta R5 with some support of M-Sport! Quite the surprise though..

4-6 events he will do starting at Rally Mexico.

Next week he will do another announcement (ERC events would be great ).

Good news. I was impressed by his determination on RMC despite his various problems. Clearly he will be toe to toe with Chardonnet now - can't see them hiding from each other! Regarding his other announcement, it might be the WRC 3 programme. Difficult I know, but he could win both 2 & 3

WRC-3 don't think so or he should do it with a Fiesta R2.. Don't think he will continue with the DS3 from PHSport when he's supported by M-Sport.

He also said in the interview the name of the team (FuckMatié) could also become a fashion brand (he's son of Italian stylist Miuccia Prada!)

There's a Quebec fashion brand with a similar name: Fuck la Mode. Stealing the idea?

Of course he toned it down for RMC as 'Fnckmatie'

Spain 2012




RMC 2014




As for the inspiration I think French Connection UK (FCUK) is more widely known than the Quebc concern and might just have a copyright infringement case if he tries to launch it as a fashion brand.

Was he getting support from PHsport for RMC? He looked to be very much on his own in the Gap service park.

It was one from PHSport for sure, but if you get M-Sport support I think you better drive with an M-Sport car. Probably not obligated but the smartest choice I guess.

Nice to see a "real driver" in WRC2.

[Sulland]

Will be interessting to see how high Grøndal can get in his Gr N Subaru this year, and how many S2000, RRC and R5s he can beat.

It's just on snow, calm down.

Seems Bernardo Sousa didn't make up his mind yet about which championship he want to run according to his Facebook. He asked WRC or ERC what's the best?

He also had some conversation with Bruno Magalhaes about choices around drivers.
