Ogier - Latvala - Mikkelsen looks like a perfect crash test team :D

On serious note, you're so wrong. Latvala family has a magic tree in their yard where the money grows on.

But can they take three full-time drivers?

Abbring said that he will share the third car with Mikkelsen...

Yes, I just didn't name him in the trio as I don't remember some big crashes from him :)

I believe first approach from VW was at NORF last season.

Abbring didn't say he will share a car with Mikkelsen, only that they will drive an equal amount of events. Maybe another season in a Fabia?

Or a Polo S1600T, because VW must homologate one before WRC.

I don´t think so, but we will see. At least Mikkelsen is ready to drive World Rally Car, but it would be better for Abbring to drive Fabia (maybe IRC) and same for Wiegand also. Maybe couple of events with the Polo...
