Re: [WRC] News & rumours (part II)
It's not a new game... Real Racing 3 has been THE most popular racing game for iOS since forever (it's actually quite fun on the iPad). They will probably release the i20 as a new car. For circuit racing only....

Re: [WRC] News & rumours (part II)
Yes you´ve missed that he´s one out of 5-6 guys who is fast enough to be in WRC in a factory team. Next year when there´s one more team it might be lack of drivers if you rule out Mads and supposely a few other not in your taste...?

Having said that you make a good point that there are 8-9 works seats next year so I can see him being deserving of one of them. I just find it hard to believe there are several teams "fighting" over him, but hey maybe he has a good PR manager behind him.

Well, dreamers....
Østberg is winnercandidate on snow. He has quite much left on tarmac, but he is regular among top 3-4 on gravel, when his car is working properly.
He had his share of technical issues this year, and a couple of mistakes. I question Msports ability to start a rally with everything 100% in the team, also some dodgy tirechoices from them. When the driver/codriver also make mistakes, maybe trying to makeing up lost time?
He had a shit season this year, close to every top-driver thru history had that some time, exept of a certain seb....
He need a teamleader that also can work with him as a coach, i dont think that is MWs best side.
But to drag duval into this is just stupid. Noone whants him back.
He is maybe fast on the 2 first stages, but then he crash.Radioreporter @ www.radiomotor.no

Re: [WRC] News & rumours (part II)
skarderud - he is possibly top 3/4 on gravel, but he's so far from the top that's he may as well be 30th! Surely it's better to see if someone else can challenge higher rather than just settle for someone you know is too slow to win but is reasonably quick? He has never really shown top, top pace in my mind. However I see his value as a number 2, just don't understand why people are fighting for him! As for Duval - I'd be amazed if it happened, and not in a good way.
RS - very true. Team of Mikko and Mads is so boringly consistent it might just work I guess. Personally would offer Sordo the drive on tarmac rounds, and let Ostberg have some time off during them!

Re: [WRC] News & rumours (part II)
Ostberg has had a shambolic season -no two ways about im afraid. Really disappointing. Shown no real raw pace at all. unless maybe in finland. Fact is the guy got outpaced in australia by meeke, a guy contesting his 2nd competitive rally in something like 2yrs. Citroen should just go for a meeke - kubica lineup. As matton says- they arent going to be fighting for manufacturer's title so i hope Yves grows some balls and takes a gamble on his driver lineup. No point in keeping a deadbeat sordo or mads ostberg
