Does anyone know if Mini starts also in Sweden?

The weather here snowing the last 3 days and tommorow +2 so maybe there will be ice next month.
Greetings from Ekshärad

Or is there any evidence he DID already find another sponsor or is at least speaking with some?

Patrik Sandell: "Swedish Rally is clear and we are negotiating right now for the rest of the season."

No.
Daniel Oliveira and perhaps, Armindo Araújo, will run the Mini S2000 1.6T for the first time in Portugal and the wrc version just on Italy with Meeke and Sordo.

So, will this mean Oliviera/Maghales be switching from rallying with Brazil World Rally Team to the official works team with Meeke/Nagle and Sordo/Vallejo?

I thought that MINI and Brazil World Rally Team both ran the MINI Countryman WRC anyway.

Does anyone know the plans of Xavier Pons?

The official works team is only with Sordo and Meeke.
Oliveira will start first with the Mini S2000 1.6T and then later, he will switch to a wrc version but as private.

Xavier Pons will do the spanish championship with Fiesta S2000

And the SP and WRC models will be homologated at the same time, not the SP first and then the WRC ?

Yes, should be done in this way, SP before Portugal and WRC before Sardegna... However Prodrive says that hey are even ahead of this schedule... what on the other hand should not change their plans for entering in the WRC...

There is only one homologation for both. It's SAME car with additional WRC kit homologated as option.
