Yes he keeps following and unfollowing me all the time. He just do it to increase his followers on Twitter. Apparently he has nothing to di in life.Quote:

That said I also identify with Barrie Hinchcliffe, even though most of his stuff was before I was born.Quote:

Ostberg No.1 at M-Sport? Maybe Bertelli's there, so space for Evans in a 3rd car?Quote:

Al-Rahji in a WRC could be interesting, he's quite OK in WRC2. At least not as hopeless as some of the other rich Arabians.
Hopeless? Which are those?
Pretty much all except Al-Attiyah.Quote:

Al-Kuwari? 2nd to Kubica in WRC2 when he competed in nearly every possible WRC2 round.... he didn't in the last year due to budget...
In my view Nasser does an excellent job and Abdulaziz and Yazeed do a solid one, too. I don´t want to miss them in WRC. Of course they have lots of experience and reliable (RRC-)cars due to a good budget, but they aren´t bad drivers.
Anyone Norwegians tell us if there's anything interesting said today in Mads TV interview ?

Nope, nothing really
I think Yazeed is doing what Nasser did. Drive a few rallies with a WRC car and when he goes back to a WRC2 car he will be much faster just like Nasser was. No long term plans I think.
Tanak going to Dmack WRC team:http://www.m-sport.co.uk/m-sport-new...-wrc-team.html
That´s good news and maybe the only option Tanak had.Quote:

Collaboration Tanak-Dmack looks quite optimistic for me. They have already announced PET before Monte and they will have 12 new WRC asphalt tyres to try out. I think that we should create a new thread about Dmack WRC Team.

So we are thinking that Toyota outbid the Evans family to that second seat - right?
Camilli was with TMG, and they are sidelined in the WRC development, so probably no.
M-Sport needed money, where did the money come from? Has Camilli any kind of familly suport that pays the seat?
ffsa ?????Quote:

TMG
Last time we had "official" french driver at Ford?

Delecour yes yes :) and Auriol before too
Why Camili? Very surprising. Østberg was no surprise but Camili.
So weird
It is a bit out of the blue. Someone on this thread almost called it earlier however, can't seem to find the post now, but Wilson was sniffing around during GB.Quote:

To be honest the world of rally is not always logical. You bring one of the people that has shown immense speed in lower categories to the top and the guy does nothing but crash or go mega slow (like Tänak or Lefebvre). On other occasions you take drivers who has shown very little results before joining the top flight and they go like stink.
Who knows, maybe it will yield results. At the end of 2016, we'll know.
Edit: Speaking of Lefebrvre, any news about him now that Citroen isn't taking part in 2016?
