    The organisers of Britain's World Rally Championship round will now have to rethink the final day of the October event after the governing body declined a planned powerstage using the all-asphalt Great Orme test, which had been extended into the centre of Llandudno.
    If they want something like that it needs to take place in someone's park and branded as a "revenge of the stately homes" stage.

    ERJ is the joker (in my underastanding it means erratum-joker). Erratum = a modification replacing previous one, i.e. not a variant but a fixed change meant to be mandatory for all users after a certain period of time. AFAIK VO (optional variants) don't require using jokers.

    So, only lines with ERJ need a joker ? No joker for VO, VF, ER ?

    I don't have the homologation rules therefore I can't say what can be homologated as ER, as VO or VF but I suppose that only ERJ requires use of joker.

    Why does Ostberg always thank Citroen for his C3 WRC drives and hope they give him more, if he's paying anyway ?

    Or is he only paying part and its a joint enterprise - Citroen has a low budget and Adapta has money ?

    That's what I'm presuming. Otherwise he wouldn't have Abu Dhabi and Citroen livery on the car, it would look like his last year's car instead. Also, he wouldn't probably then score manufacturer points for the team. I think it's a win-win deal. Østberg gets a cheaper drive and Citroen gets cheaper manufacturer points.

    It is easier to bring third car to European events than to Mexico... All logistics are made in advance.

    Al-Qassimi drives in Argentina, so their long-haul setup must be three-car-ready. It's simple as that, Østberg (and especially Al-Qassimi) brings $$$ in, Breen does not.

    Besides, they couldn't give Breen a third car for Corsica either, although it's their home event.
