[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

[Simmi]

Jouhki also believes that the VW/Red Bull rumour is just a rumour, no truth in it. Jouhki thinks that VW will not homologate the 2017 model at all.

This is quite telling for me. Surely if Red Bull were trying to mount some kind of private operation with the car then guys like Jouhki would know. The team would need drivers after all!

They would only need one. And as far as we know, he's still on the market... The rest could be Lappi, Tidemand, Suninen, etc.

That 'IMO' is not 'your' opinion...

It is everybody's opinion... I don't see any other option for him than Toyota or M Sport.

I don't even think it's an opinion. Citroen officially told us they don't want him. Hyundai also is set with their drivers. That leaves only Toyota or M-Sport, if we don't count possible private teams running the Fiesta.

He will go to Adapta with Mads Ostberg and will form N.O.T's favourite team for next year

Yes I understand, I was just adding a source of the quote since Eddie didn't do that (again).

Ostberg testing 2017 Fiesta today. Giving that he stays at Ford next year.

Main M-Sport, Dmack or Adapta?

If he remains at Main M-Sport, it could mean Ogier to Citroen?

[Andre Oliveira]

All 4 tested. But i guess, Adapta or DMACK to Østberg and Evans

[MM WRC]

D-Mack and Adapta teams? Of course I knew about the D-Mack but I don't realise how can these teams enter as earlier it was claimed that only manufacturer entries will be able to compete in 2017 WRCs.
