[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

Good news - Aava/Sikk..

numbers of MT2 teams stay the same through the year, but teams can change drivers each rally, jus tlike they did in 2008 with Galli, Duval, Solberg and Wilson.

He drive all championship .. The number is not possible to switch .. So Henning will drive Ireland nut not nominate, and Aava 8 rallies...
So by deduction Wilson number 1 !!

I'm wrong.. No need fixed driver for number 1 drive ;) ... So they can switch between Henning, Wilson and Aava to score stobart points

You mean the Ford? What prestige is there in driving a Stobart Car?

It's one of the better cars for privateers, and also he has put much effort, and trying very hard to reach the WRC. I cant think of anyone who would deserve a drive more than he, also he can drive quite good too.

Yes, Aava is a good guy.

But the Stobart thing is a myth, Avva's car will be 95% his own sponsors, but they still want him in "Stobart" team, but Henning has been promised something too... is a bit vauge. Plus Matthew is due to be World Champion next year so, Aava will not get a fair shout :s :

If Stobart were to pick Avva and Wilks/Meeke for example, and stick with them for the year, and pay for their drives outright, I would give them more credit. They are not even 20% of a sponsor that Expert are.

I guess if you are in one of the Ford M2 'teams' they just shuffle you about as necessary. Maybe Aava will also appear for Munchis at some point this year.

The 'Stobart' team is turning into a joke now.....who is in charge of that team because they have'nt a clue!!!

Why cant they make a big big decision and have a 3rd team its not rocket science!!

Mads Østberg have tested his new S14....he is very pleased with the test:

They have managed 200km of testing monday and tuesday. Team Adapta also had their "old" S12b on the test and Mads drove both the cars to feel the differences.
They have chosen Öhlins.

They will continue their test tomorrow.

Hmm, didn't Henning present his deal to be super-duper and he was like first driver of the team? Always priority? Doesn't really fit the fact that he is not nominated in Ireland...
