Markku Alen is going to realise his dream to drive by latest spec WRC-car. Both Toyota and Hyundai are possibilities. He has already talked about it with Andrea Adamo. It would be a test-drive. #WRC #MrMaximunAttack

Of course I can only guess, but I don't believe Skoda paid all expenses of Solberg in 2020...maybe some reduced car rent/test session prices? Meanwhile, Ingram would have probably needed more support for his program.
And yeah, Solberg was (is?) pretty much the best choice as a media-loved person and a young talent for a team to support.

The Rally Germany will no longer take place in Saarland in the future. The ADAC Saarland, the responsible organizer of the international event for years, can no longer raise the budget. Officially, the World Cup run costs around two million euros. Most of the sum came from the ADAC headquarters in Munich. But the cost of organization has risen tremendously. Insider assumes a total of around 4- 5 million euros. Recently there was no agreement between Munich and Saarbrücken. The consequence: there will be no more WRC-round run with over 200,000 visitors annually between the Saar and Mosel. Also no more Panzerplatte...

Not wanting to get into an argument but Ingram won the ERC with massive financial pressure after his main sponsor pulled out on the eve of the 2019 Season. He was going into more and more debt to compete and any crash damage would've ended his season. He then lost out on €100k prize by 0.3s in Barum and was forced to crowd-fund.
To drive flat-out in this financial position was impossible. He had to protect the car at all costs and finish events.
After all that he won the title (in a Škoda) and they still wouldnt give him any help.Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 17th February 2021 at 11:25.
