    Galli to join Stobart team in 08?

    Says in Autosport that Gigi Galli might join the Stobart team in 2008?

    That would be great news what I cant understand is the Henning may move to Munchi's team......why cant he have the Exper team in its own right instead of under another name..
    If I was the owner of Expert I would be making sure of this!!

    It would cost more for Exper to have there own team (they would have to prepare and service the car) than to sponsor the Stobart team.

    If Galli did return to the WRC it would be good because something funny always happens like in Italy last year at the end of a stage.

    Expert Italy has bought 50.000 Henning Solberg branded Ford Focus radio controlled cars (according to Henning's book).

    Maybe Exert in Italy tries to do the same as Expert in Norway (witch has been a great success).

    That was only because a take over of the comany. Stobart Company will decided later this year (all done, not published maybe) to go further with sponsor activities.
    As you know what the philosophy of the comany is, I think they stay in rally. Stobart is not only a transport company. They have a huge fanclub. The motorsport sponsorship is part of that.

    It will be exiting to see what teams Ford will build. Want they two strong B teams or like this year a sub team and a hobby team.
    If they choose for 2 B teams. I choose for Henning and Wilson in Stobart and Galli, Clark and driver X (with co-driver Jorge Perez Companc) for Munchi's. (Luis Perez Companc stops, he is going back to his business.)

    We'll see in future what is true of this story.
