Will they just not bother or will they hire some other talent to an "importer" team. My wish is that they would take Rossetti. I can't think of anyone else who is available who could fight for the title straight away.

Also Basso.He deserves a top seat

The most important point of view is if Peugeot wants to continue in IRC in 2012.

Agree, but I mentioned Rossetti because I think he is slightly better than Basso on gravel.

I hope Peugeot continue, there is life in the 207 yet until they switch to the 208 with the new cheaper 4x4 turbo regulations.

You are more than right. If there is no Peugeot in IRC next year, then it is almost like sudden death for IRC :-(

So will they?

As expected (VW) Skoda UK confirms Mikkelsen again in 2012.

Good news.

I expect Skoda UK only have to pay a bit for Andreas' wages for promotional events e.t.c.

Just my brain :D

It's obvious if VAG have long term plans for him they are not going to bill Skoda UK the full price.

Has Karl Kruuda got a budget yet for IRC 2012? Think he was hoping to do most rounds.
