Hope he dont. Why? MINI will do 6 events next year and we dont know how it will go on..
He must drive a Fiesta WRC. But M.Wilson have no brain.

It seems that he has brain when he has castle in Cumbria and in 1993 he had little workshop (when he drove Micheline pilot escort gp.A; also posting some fastest time(s))..

Well, there is a high possibility that Mini does 9 events. Misses first events and then wont stop like DR said.

according to this article, Sordo was att mini/prodives HQ earlier this week and despite that all things were prepared and arranged for Sordo to test drive the car.
However sordo declined and said that he do want to keep the door open for other possibilities. He still considers to buy himself a seat with ford so that he can drive all rallies next year.

I hope Sordo has to choose from 2 cars who are available. It is a Ford and a Mini.
Mini drives 6 or 9 events and Sordo can step in for free? The car is new. Prodrive hasn't the most powerful cars the last years. What can it do?
Ford drives all the season and can drive for 1 million (€ or $). The car is new, but it is a car build by M-Sport, so it can win races. It will be fast, only is it fast on tarmac already?

Sordo will the first man on tarmac in both teams.

What do you choose? I don't know. I like Ford, but it is not my work and i didn't to negotiate.
