    Is Mikkelsen eventual WRC program linked with Nasser codriver talk to L’Equipe? According to ‏@planetemarcus Baumel mentioned something about a possible return to WRC (GB and AUS), but that seems a bit too late for Mikkelsen. Still, Nasser is a Toyota Gazoo (and Red Bull) driver in Rally Raid, so a sort of Toyota’s B team, with one car for him and another to Mikkelsen (or to Lappi, if Mikkelsen gets his work’s seat) seems to be a logical speculation…or not.

    #WRC @matthieubaumel speaks on live @lequipe21 maybe returns with Al-Attiyah in GB + Australia

    am i right in assuming that each driver has been using the same car since the beginning of the season?

    if so, isn't it likely that the hydraulic and electrical problems are a result of wear?

    anyway i'm pretty confident they'll be able to adress the issues before the start of argentina.

    btw i saw in the corsica thread that you were really frustrated with the all the technical problems tanak encountered during the tour de corse.

    look at it this way: corsica is his weakest hunting ground, he was already pushed out of contention due to his crash and if you have to have mechanical issues (which you do in rallying), you better have them all there and then when everything else has already failed as well. the law of averages says he will have a couple of smooth events laying ahead of him.

    According to ewrc.com all M-Sport and Hyundai drivers have used the same chassis on all rounds so far.

    Toyota appears to be switching between chassis #1 and #2 on one round and #3 and #4 on the other, etc.
    Citroen used 2 different chassis in Sweden, the rest of the events they used the same chassis.

    Of course we don't know if that is valid information, they could easily transfer big parts or systems from one chassis to another, etc.

    I'm hearing very unreliable rumours about Mikkelsen replacing Hanninen at Toyota.

    But according to what I'm reading here they don't seem too much improbable...

    So we shouldn't use news & rumours thread if we want to talk about rumours? Sounds strange for me...

    Of course but AM is a bit of a special case and people dont want to miss the latest info if it's mixed in with all the other stories...
