If it's like this, then very good. I read that he was planning to do Catalunya instead of GB, but if he found the budget also for GB, good

my wife and i have ventured a guess that Petter is to be signed by VW for 2012, as they'd want an experienced driver to put down some very solid results - and Petter wants a solid seat with factory backing.
we've also guessed that Ford will drop Mikko (his results have not impressed) and he'll be the 2nd driver in VW.
Ford would then pickup Ogier. Ogier and Latvala would be allowed to fight out the entire season tooth and nail, with the 1 'rule' that they finish as many rallies as possible (ie. do not crash out to beat your team mate).
and then it is RUMORED that Saab and Toyota are coming back into WRC. admittedly, the chances of Saab coming back in are slim... Toyota already has the prototype vehicle last i saw - Yaris (US name) which will use much of the same running gear as the Corolla that ran in the Australian Rally Championship (with the engine fitting to the current 1.6L Turbo spec of course).
but, again... all rumor and guesswork so far...
