I don't want spoil a party (I am excited to see such line up for Rally Estonia and tickets are in my bag already) but talking about Rally Estonia as possible WRC round in nearest future Jean Todt did it. There was his quote in Estonian internet media about it - "Ambitions are a good thing. But there it's like in school - you have to do things step by step. My suggestion - return back in ERC and if you will succeed there why not to try something more ambitious".

Why would they go back to ERC? They accomplished their targets there. In 2014 Rally Estonia won ERC Rally of the Year award.

Well you can do it in different months...I don't think that makes it impossible.
Nobody is partying, just saying Estonia would be a nice addition to the calendar.
I think that was just politics talking from Todt. If you judge rallys by "success" then Australia should not even host playstation's tournaments.Last edited by AL14; 30th May 2018 at 12:58.

Mäkinen has trust on Latvala and Räikkönen is not going to do drive for him.
He also comments that Meeke being fired from Citroen was a weird way to handle things and he would think twice before doing the same.

It is there, just not much:
Prior to news of Meeke's departure last week, Toyota team principal Tommi Makinen said he would be interested in talking to Meeke about a potential future deal.
Wilson comes trough as totally uninterested in Meeke. (obviously unless he pays)
Btw. recalling how some people talk about "French team destroying British driver careers" (meaning McRae+Meeke). It's not like the British teams are known to "save" those drivers. McRae wasn't picked by Ford or Subaru/Prodrive after he got kicked from Citroen and Meeke was kicked from Mini/Prodrive before going to Citroen.

We all know that they are aiming to keep Sordo. And Paddon most probably not having much opportunities he will go to Citroen (if they stays, if not, he is screwed). Wilson will not looking for others unless Ogier retires from sport. Well toyota will stay the same.
This is the proof that it could be done with fans help. When I propose that kind of coverage everyone here completely lose their minds, like always. But this looks great. I think that it could be fun...
