    The Millen motor is fairly old and outdated version of the current motors. The Veloster used by his team was based on the old Hyundai Elantra WRC. Rhys later used a Ford engine from a Swedish engine builder (hint hint). Stephan Verdier had the Hyundai WRC motor in his car which was grossly low in power compared to the new motors yet he managed to do fairly well and it was not easily visible when he was up there with Rhys for a few events.

    If Hyundai does a RX program they would run their own motor for sure.

    ah! that explains everything!! Sorry for considering you a journalist.
    Yep, and honestly it's great to see people facing brit rally journos that tend to forget they work for the WRC official media, not to a local radio or tabloid. Still, Sordo's last sentence wasn't aggressive or impolite, like many here suggested.

    Translation software did Sordo no favours there. Made his responses look overly aggressive. I'm sure it will blow over.

    Colin is certainly a brave guy talking so brazenly about drivers being dropped, under-performing etc. I mean it happens in sport literally all the time, but rallying is such a small circle.

    What I don't understand here is your use of the word 'Brit'. I fail to see what any of this has to do with someone's nationality? Some of the tweets directed at Colin seem to be entirely about his race, and not about what he's said.

    FYI, all he did was say no Sordo for GB and Aus.

    Here's Hayden Paddon saying "we remain under contract until the end of the 2018 season and still have some *rally's* remaining this year to show what I know we are capable of."

    So, not one singular rally, but more than one. https://www.facebook.com/haydenpaddo...type=3&theater

    I remember Sordo saying not long ago that he didn't like rallycross.

    Yves Matton openly saying he's talking to Ogier for 2018? https://twitter.com/voiceofrally/sta...11610578841600

    The article is in French, only got Google Translate to go by, is that what it says?

    Yes he openly says he is their target and that negotiations are ongoing.

    Nice phone call with @DaniSordo this morning. Very pleased to see that we are still mates. Rally Catalunya can't come quick enough!

    No fresh news in Motorsport News today - which went to press before yesterday's Mikkelsen announcement.

    Two small things:

    Matton having a bit of a moan about the fact teams have to nominate their drivers for an event before the previous round has finished. They have to commit their GB lineup before Spain run, and similarly Australia before GB. He implies it's something they need to speak to the FIA about.

    Oliver Solberg is lining up his WRC debut at Wales GB 2018. His plan is to combine his Latvian and Estonian championships with the ERC. It doesn't specific but I have to assume in the U27 championship as he's running a 208 with support from Peugeot Norway. And then he'll be 17 in time to do GB. Petter confirmed he wanted to do the GB reece this year but isn't old enough.
