Absolut nonsense is that mini is progressing,while in Sardignia was faster than in Wales.
Absolut nonsense is to read an interview and to be unable to understand the meaning.

Again, read properly - "a win next season could well be possible"
Interview? What interview? More nonsense.
There's much more to this situation than you seem to understand.
Look, there's little point in discussing this with you. I'm slowly losing the will to live so please have the last word.

Dimvit, why so agressive? You dont have to agree with Noel, I consider him an optimist but I'd rather have the company of an optimist than someone with your negative attitude.

Both drivers have set fastest times,so the car is not slow
Can I ask you a question... what do you think Loeb could achieve in a MINI?

I can understand DTM is BMW's top priority but I think Mini in WRC is a good promotion. Even if Mini gets sub-par results next year, many of the general public don't still know Mini is in the intenrnational level motorsports, and I think BMW can use Mini WRC program as marketing tool for next year or two. Of course beyond that, especially when VW steals headlines, they need solid sponsors and results.

By the way I'm not too familiar with DTM but are DTM cars run by private teams? Does private teams pay BMW to run their car or it is solely works effort?

Here are some detail about Anthony's plans for next year:

Any details about other customers for Mini? I sure that Mini will do a full program next year. What do you guys think???

I think it is also important to note that BMW has been taking part in Dakar and other Raid events with the X5 and now the Countryman and Range Rover Evoque. So getting a bit dirty is not a problem. Prodrive will operate the Minis long-term as independent from BMW and will probably name the engines Prodrive. They will be able to develop the cars more quickly with a corporate partner.

BMW will participate in DTM with 3 M3s run by BMW Team Schnitzer, BMW Team RBM and BMW Team RMG. I understand that Team Schnitzer will be the "works" car.
