Well, it still looks that Sordo for Mini is 99% confirmed. They have very good driver package to develop and also to compete for the titles in WRC (the best test drivers, very good team player and super-fast Meeke).

And M-sport is going to earn big time next year. Most probably we can see Kimi, Block, Villagra, Atkinson and maybe Ketomaa, Henning and Andersson+Wilslow as well in Fiesta WRC (In addition to Jari and Mikko)-exactly ten cars like they promised!

Citroen meanwhile looks to loose his main sponsor and all major pay-drivers. They have also lost 50% of their tarmac forces and they have only Ogier whose tarmac driving can be compared to those guys whom NOT calls useless nobodies (well, he has crashed in approximately 50% of tarmac rounds and he has finished on the podium only once with the car that is the most superior on the tarmac). They have also guy called Quensel whose management has led to superior 1,2,3 retirement in 24 h Le Manse race, loss of manufacturers and drivers titles in IRC, some stupid comments which even Peugeot dealers think are ridiculous.. pretty successful CV.. what next?.

For me, it seems that year 2011 will be the season with highest number of question-marks since 2003 and 2004 when Mäkinen, McRae, Burns, Sainz and Panizzi stopped their active participation in WRC.

If Red Bull see nothing anymore in Kimi Raikkonen, then why will they sponsor his Peugot 207 S2000 in Rallye Monte Carlo 2011?

Ostberg and Adapta confirms Fiesta Wrc 2011 program : http://bit.ly/9zgESl

[nr7wave]

Østberg will be driving a Fiesta wrc next year, not a Mini!

Adapta WRT said this in a press release today.

i see eammon Boland mentioned as a Mini customer i belive the only reason that may be due to his strong links with prodrive over the past few years.
But realistly if that were to happen all you may see of eammon is the odd european round and maybe the irish tarmac championship.but i belive this rumour may have came from an irish forum.but that rumour is more or less dead
