PM me please, Matt.
To get the thread sort of back on track.......As someone posted earlier, though Glen Macneall is sitting beside Toshi in Malaysia this weekend, he'll be beside someone much prettier at RNZ and Tony Sircombe will be back beside Toshi for the PCWRC, there.
The same goes for Rally Japan and, if my source is correct, I mean exactly the same two pairings as Rally NZ. Yep, arguably the world's fastest lady on dirt at the moment, Emma Gilmour will be running in Japan with local support from Arai Motorsports!
Final stretch of this thread: Look out for Kozue Doi at RNZ. She will be much faster than her lowly seeding indicates and will no doubt embarass some of those macho Kiwi drivers. Also, quite easy on the eyes!!! If that's not reason to take your camera to the RNZ service park, she's driving for the Takayama College team whose car servicing performance is the most unique in the WRC!"Racing is life.

Typo in my earlier post:
Kozue's last name is Oi, as in Aussie, Aussie, Aussie,........
(but of course she's Japanese)"Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting." Steve McQueen

Crocker Takes Rally Malaysia
Cody Crocker has taken his 4th win in-a-row, claiming a comfortable victory in Rally Malaysia after his main series rivals, Katsu Taguchi and Jussi Valimaki both failed to finish leg 2.
Having beaten the third MotorImage Subaru of Toshi Arai on day 1, Crocker eased off the pace to ensure his win, the victory virtually guaranteeing a second straight Championship.
There'll be more details as they come to hand at APRC.TV, and the APRC Live audio podcast of the event will be available for download later this week.

Only solution is more teams. Everything else is a temporary bandage that won't change anything in the long run.
