    Exactly. If Hennig want's to drive for fun and can backup it with the necessary funding, then why not. Obviously he has good relationships with his sponsor. Not everybody driving in WRC want's to win the title. We should be happy anyway now we will have 3 manufacturers on full program (I don't count Mini for this or the next year, but I hope I will be wrong for the next one). With 2014 they can become even 2 more, then I guess there will be enough places for young and talanted drivers.

    So why did the GoFast sponsorship dry up last time and what's to say it won't happen again?

    Not sure he would have wanted MC, even if he could!

    And as a sponsor object for EXPERT, he was super popular, both with the customers and the company. He appeal to both men and women, being a very nice person.
    The primary aim for the sponsors is not to help the driver, but to get something back, and earn more money!

    Guys, do you remeber that Henning has been much more succsessfull with "non-offiscial cars." Why not with Mini? with the team who is ready to adjust the car for his liking (because there are nor much more other people to take into account). I belive he will achieve many good results:-)

    Actually i think the same, bluuford.
    he was "on par" with mikko with an evo 6,5, he won in germany in an fiesta s2000, and he is by far the best Mechanic in the wrc.
    this Can be good for all 3 parts in this project!

    At least, driving (when possible) a Prodrive Mini, Henning will save the entry's money and he won't beat the record from last year of five withdrawals before starting.

    To my mind, DMACK would be a better sponsor for Prodrive than Go Fast. For one, they have actually maintained a presence in the category that was somewhat more substantial than backing an entire WRC team for two rounds, then changing their minds and putting a small decal on another car. And DMACK money would guarantee Prodrive the ability to take someone like Solberg, instead of depending on round-by-round sponsorship.

    Swedish media reports that Henning is on the startlist and will drive a Fiesta WRC in Sweden. Maybe with GoFast sponsorship.

    Henning confirmed for Sweden as he confirmed via SMS to Colin Clark.
