    DMack is paying for the car, hire Evans on a free, who has personal sponsor Red Bull to pay a wage to live from. Fingers crossed for some extra M-Sport backers in 2018.

    In the published interview from January Mikkelsen said that he was offered DMACK spot for 2017 before Evans on the condition that he would bring money. Whether that means money for his own salary or something else it didn't say.

    If what tomhlord says it's true it means that M-Sports cost for DMACK and Evans are 0.

    Also Loeb will never drive full season tbh, max 2-3 rallies for "fun".
    Andreas needs to accept he isn't in as much demand as he thinks he perhaps should be.

    I said ages ago that Mikkelsen could find himself out of a drive for 2018 if he didnt get sorted quickly with a seat in 2017.

    Everyone said no, he's such a great driver, he'll be in huge demand...

    What you think now ?

    My preferred Toyota line up would be the Latvala, Tanak, Lappi team. Fabulous.

    Germany will be a big event for Andreas. Can't be getting beat up time wise by Meeke or Breen, or it'll be 3 consecutive poor showings in the C3.

    It's funny to me to read all this praise from team bosses based on one event.


    I guess Ogier, Neuville, Tänak and Latvala will have hard times getting a seat for next year...

    This is exactly the first thing I thought.

    I mean, the way the article is written it suggest that Makinen would rather have Evans than Ogier, Tanak or Mikkelsen (all without contract for next year). Also calling Evans a "youngster" at age of 29 and after he already had full wrc season 2 years ago.

    Guess it's a product of the previously discussed British-jurno bias.

    If Citroen don't get Ogier, Mikkelsen for sure will join them in 2018, so don't be so quick to judge.
