Wales Rally GB 2013

[306 Cosworth]

So not long now until Wales Rally GB.

Still disappointed with the route for Sunday, but nothing we can do about that. Just have to make sure I make the most of seeing them 3 - 4 times on the Quali stage on the Thursday and in the stages.

Heard a rumour today that Kubica is now doing the event in a works DS3 WRC. Not sure if it's another car, or the seat that Meeke was rumoured to be having. Guess we will find out in the next couple of weeks when an entry list is revealed.

There is also hope amongst british fans, that the rally will see the return of multiple British rally champion, Mark Higgins in a Fiesta R5. And of course Irish Driver Keith Cronin has a chance to take the Citroen Top Driver trophy on stages he knows.


The entries for the national rallies are also looking pretty good, over 100 crews entered which should fill the time between the international rally.

Rumors says that it will be Al Qassimi's car.

Well Meeke better had be in Sordo's car then!

Personally I would like to see Sordo driving his usual car, he deserves a chance for a better position in the championship. Meeke showed so far that he is not ready to take responsibility either as No1 or No2 driver, so give him Al Qassimi's car

As I read on polish autoklub.pl, it's Al Quassimi himself (during Cyprus Rally) who said that Robert will start in Rally GB, also Meeke was under consideration but finally it'll be Kubica who'll take his car.

I disagree. Okay he failed to do what he was asked to by the team, but that's no different to Solberg, McRae, Latvala, Duval and many many other drivers in their first season. I think that on his pure pace alone he has shown he can be the number 2 driver for Citroen, but I think that ship has sadly sailed for him.

What is the point of getting a better final championship placing for Sordo? He can't win anything, and neither can Citroen. So unless they mean to keep Sordo for next year, why not try out other drivers in his seat.

Fair play, Kubica is a good choice, just so they can see what he can do in a top class car.

If Meeke got 2 opportunities to show himself, then why shouldn't Kubica get at least 1?

What is the point of driving anyone else apart from Latvalla and Nueville, others can't win anything then?
