    Much as we might like to see the '17 Polo in the WRC, personally I wouldnt bet any of my money on it ever happening.

    And the longer it takes the further behind it will be with all the other cars running and gaining reliability and performance..

    With you on this. How much testing in it has he actually done? Probably not more than the others last year. He'll be way off the other boys.

    Well, he's done zero testing in any other car so the Polo will be the easiest choice. So instead of wasting the three rallies he might do on setting up a car it might be better to use the Polo like he said himself "It's the only car i know how to drive"

    Østberg had a broken front diff and some brake issues, Veiby started 7 cars behind and has probably been recceing these stages a 100 times through the years as he lives there, but still a good drive.

    Mikkelsen is probably not willing to pay for a seat but if he wanted a seat is not lack of money missing. He is not some kid with no money, even in Norway. None of you would be able to dream of buying his father's cottage An example.

    It's going to be a real shame when Ostberg, Prokop & Bertelli all have '17 WRC cars if AM still hasn't...
