Prodrive Mini WRC

It is almost same car that Countryman so I don´t think so. And I think it will take time when NEW MINI WRC will come if ever.

Paceman is a two door version of the Countryman

Is Juho still in the running to get a customer mini? I know he was in talks with MI; but that was before BMW finally pulled the plug...

I don't think so. My guess is he is in talks with Malcolm now. One thing is sure, he has a backup solution because his door to Škoda are kept opened.

I wish for Juho the best possible WRC car for next season(s) and nice to hear if it not hapenn the door in Škoda are still openen

Nice one TyPat. You were well ahead there timewise.

If the paceman does become the car Prodrive move towards, it will only be half ugly from the Country(ugly)man.

I would not want to guess who will be in Prodrive next year. I only hope they will be registered in the championship with Mini as otherwise I fear they will not be shown on tv at all.
On Juho, I think Prodrive would be a good option for him if its still possible. He has had a great time during the GFC as he wa paid to drive for Skoda but maybe its now or never for the WRC and him.

In which way is Prodrive better option? They need hell of a money to continue and in the moment their car is worse than the one of M-Sport.

I don't think that Juho has any chance of an M-Sport seat now. Prodrive has been pretty free and easy with the prostitute car so I felt he had a better chance with them.

When has M-Sport or Prodrive ever declined to give a car to someone with the right amount of money?
