We already know jokers on engine, what's new? Any Red-Grey involvement?

Great news about Wagner. It's high time for a full ERC programme for him. Good luck!

So doing a Mikkelsen with double trouble. He will have a busy year, and learn a lot!

And hopefully keeping cost down with the Hankook deal.

Hankook is only to Junior.

Very young Estonian talent, called Jaspar Vaher, wants to compete in ERC. He is only 15 years old. Another wonderkid?

Today their plans have been revealed:“Of course, it depends a bit on the results. We will definitely do the first four or five rounds and, if we have some chance to finish the season with a podium position, we’ll stick to this plan and try to go for it"
