[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

LOEB SWITCH'S TO AUDI http://www.racexpress.nl/index.php?nav= ... um=twitter

Is this official? He left Citroen WTCC team? what is going on there?

Loeb has his own team (Sebastien Loeb Racing) in FIA GT Series since quite some time now. Last year they competed on McLaren MP4-12Cs but they had many reliability issues (car taking fire in the middle of the race...) hence their switch to Audi R8s for next season.

This has nothing to do with Loeb's involvement in WTCC with Citroën.

Burkart? Really?

Not some sort of April Fool / Poisson Rouge / Day of the Innocents type hoax is it? Surely Hankook could find someone competing more regularly (and with more success), unless Herr B waved an obscene amount of cash at them to become 'partners'.

Poisson rouge ?
Ze rosbif probably meant 'Poisson d'Avril' .

I know that it is kind of a joke, but Oleksii Tamrazov put this into his facebook account saying that he is trying to bring MG to Rally again.
I know that this is probably nothing, but it's the second time that I see rumours of MG linked to rallying! Maybe something possible in a R5 form, who knows!!

This is really not a joke, Alex is really trying to start WRC project. He is negotiating with MG and I hope there is quite big chance to have this project working.
