The MG WRC thing won't happen, and if it does it will be a pathetic attempt. From this article is seems that the manufacturer aren't even interested, so it will be Mini WRC all over again but much, much worse!

Re: [WRC] News & rumours (part III)
The main initiator and investor of the project is Ukrainean driver Alex Tamrazov. As You know almost whole Ukraine is now in a state of anarchy so it's well possible Alex has different problems now. As far as I know he is now on Crimea.
Meanwhile (before the things in Ukraine got crazy) he said he is considering to put his money in support of already planned Renault R5 car instead.
By the way not so long time a go he put this livery on his car...

Oleksii is a great dude. He is always very positive with good sense of humour. I do not know why PG could not work with him Some personalities do not match. Tamrazov has investments all over in Europe, including some in Estonia.

Re: [WRC] News & rumours (part III)
It would be interesting to know who is backing this MG project. I am not sure how it could be worse than Mini in the wrc, but if they can do anything it would bring some attention to the brand again.
It would indeed be interesting to know why PG could not work with him and what is PG doing now anyway?

we all know Hyundai will have a new car next year but what about the other teams, will there be any changes?
Only you know your true potential.

Re: [WRC] News & rumours (part III)
MG in the WRC….the alarm bells are ringing. Sounds like a private project – hoping to get MG to homologate it.
No thanks!!
Please do it properly – with finance & resources. Otherwise don’t bother. You can’t do the WRC on the cheap. Haven’t the lessons of Suzuki and BMW-MINI been learnt?
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
