A shortage of good drivers?
Most of the current drivers have only one year deal for next year, so i dont it get why he is complaining. There will be plenty of drivers available next year but i guess he wants a driver right now and of course he wants a driver like Ogier.
no mention to Latvala. Are they taking it very carefully? Latvala's contract will end up in 2016. So it's not true only Neuville and Ostberg will be without an agreement.Quote:

I don't know what Makkinen is waiting for. I would be already standing at Kubica's door even with Meeke available. The guy is by far the best option to develop the car. He can drive the car to it absolute limit, he has big technical knowledge, and he can drive this thing 24/7 :D
too ugly... did he enter monte ?Quote:

Okay maybe you'd want to do it for Ogier - but I don't see a reason to do it for both him and Latvala. Certainly not right now.
Talking about those young dev drivers is also ridiculous. If that proposed Super License comes in neither of them will even be able to drive the car.
not only with drivers,also lost about the rest of Toyota programm.Quote:

Makinen is a nobody and his project also, he is just going to be a bit richer along with his finish friends and that is all,
the finish rally industry is a joke since manufacturers started to realise that it is better to trust driving talent than manager lies and money.
Re: Breen - his WRC2 outings were in a 208T16 with his family firm 'Kel-tec' sponsorship, not Peugeot-Sport.
I think they must be providing some money to get the WRC drive in the DS3.
Only one rally confirmed yet though..
It's all just rhetoric until we see the start of a test program but now Abarth boss Paolo Gagliardo has been quoted on the subject of an entry into the WRC:Quote:

It all seemed a bit odd that the 124 Spider would be used "for a return to the WRC" - which to me suggested a works effort - but with a car that would most likely have been an R3 to rival the Toyota GT 86 CS-R3. A 500X-based Abarth seems more likely as that would be the most logical of their current lineup from which to make a World Rally Car.
Isn't this rumor about FIAT coming back to rally every year? I'll believe it when I see it.
No. Next year it's Lancia's turn again.Quote:

Great news for Kubica with Fiesta Wrc Monte-Carlo 2016 :)

Probably the 124 suggestion was misleaded from the US model presentation. These Gagliardo remarks are much more credible and it'd be awesome to see FIAT back in WRC!Quote:

Kubica and Evans in Monte, Evans in an R5 Fiesta.
Presuming I'm the one of the 2, no I'm not from Norway, nor a fan of Ostberg, nor offended in any way. Just found it somewhat strange laughing at someone else's dream team work just before the holidays, cause it can be also subjective goal, don't You think?Quote:

Should be released 29th december.
Cool. There is a provisional list here. Will be interesting to see if there are any last-minute surprises.

Quote from Micke_VOC on European CH section:
"Yesterday in a radioshow about rally in Sweden, they told a rumor that Emil Bergkvist have secured a big deal from both Pirelli and Eurosport for 2016-season. Looks that there are something going on...."
ERC then if rumours are true. Not bad. Let´s hope there will be some perfomances in WRC as well.

Despite the announcement of even 48 hours ago right now we learn, directly from mr. Bernard Piallat Boss PH-Sport, that Robert Kubica will be the Monte Carlo Rally with them on a DS3 WRC official and the notes back his old Baran European Champion in charge with Kajetan Kajetanowicz.
The link doesn' t workQuote:

tried it again and it works.My post is from google translate from this link.Quote:

Looks like the news has been deleted from rally.it
I think it was saying Kubica would be back with Baran on co-driver duties. But yeah, it was there a couple of minutes ago, and now the story is gone.Quote:

if this is his personal account on Facebook.... then he also changed his wallpaper....
https://www.facebook.com/bernard.piallat?ref=ts&fref=ts
This wallpaper changing was the sole reason for this "news".Quote:
