What??? Where?

Osberg said that from 2006 to today with family team Adapta (which has 20%) he spent 4mln €. Now he doesn't want to spend any more money!

“He was pretty amazing,” said Prodrive team principal Dave Wilcock. “And we would certainly like him to come back and drive for us again. It’s even more amazing to think that the only time he had in the car was 50 kilometres around our test track - hardly the ideal preparation. It would be good to give him a run of events in the car, let’s see what he could do after, perhaps, six rallies or something - making sure one of those would be his home event in Finland.”

To be fair, I'm sure Prodrive would take anyone with a great wedge of cash in their pocket. If they thought there was some good coin in it, they'd say this about Nobre.

Good coin and Nikara can't exist in the same post :) . He does not even have any scrap metal left...

Anyways great that he has a possibility to drive next year. I hope they can put up a good programme and that he gets some proper opponents driving Mini for speed comparison now when Sordo is gone.
