2018 Teams

[Andre Oliveira]

Hearing there's a story in Motoring News suggesting Ogier will either stay at M-Sport or retire..

They report that the French media say Citroen dont have the budget for him and a Hyundai offer has not been made.

Have you a link?

[GravelBen]

The Hyundai offer was said to be weak and worthless.

By who? Always funny when rumours are being passed around with no source.

Here is another rumour with no source: Ogier doesn't think there is enough challenge so he is going to try to win the 2018 title in an R2 car.

By Colin Clark.

The R2 rumor is true. He will be in a VW R2 which is being launched at Monte.

Cant see Ogier retire, few more years left in that guy i think at the top and thats exactly where he is, Ogier has done a great job considering he has a new car/manufacturer/team this year...thats a tough change.

He may end up back at Citroen tho if Sebastian Loeb continues in testing and setting the cars up brilliantly..

So many variables, and things up in the air.

So Tanak is seemingly off to Toyota; can you blame him? He’ll be paid as a top line driver and will hopefully get up to speed with the car & team pretty quickly. However, he is walking away from a known strong package; pretty fast everywhere, and reasonably reliable.

I don’t expect Ford Performance to back M-Sport, though I hope I’m incorrect. What is particularly galling, is that a top team, and likely double World Champions can’t attract a major big money sponsor. Something is wrong, and maybe outside the sport it’s still viewed as ‘unattractive’ which seems ridiculous.

If Ogier is available, Toyota may jump in. Even if Tommi doesn't get along with him, big bosses may push for it. I think is Japan vs. S. Korea kind of thing, and whoever gets Ogier will have big advantage. It will be bad for Tanak of course (or maybe not).
