Nice!
Should be Auris and Golf? Scirocco is too wide and I don't think Toyota has another car other than Auris that suitsQuote:

2 Motorsport News report that NOS were pushing for a more global WRC with events in Russia, India and China as well as North American needed. I wonder if both stories are linked with the DNA of Russian money? Oh and Novikov returning after supposedly quitting rallying, all a co-incidene?

AB Bank SNORAS has finished distributing the equity-linked notes emissions and it announces the confirmed investment coefficients of the bonds. On June 12 - July 11 this year, AB Bank SNORAS distributed in Litas, Euros and US dollars six three-year emissions SNORAS Energetics of the bonds linked to the shares of the Russian companies Gazprom and Lukoil.
he he
lol
I said it because Snoras is owned by the co-owner of Spyker Cars (which owns Saab), Vladimir Antonov :P
i know that but there are very few companies not linked with lukoil or gazprom in moderrn russia.
Sorry but it`s very funny LOL :) It`s like 'In Greece all dressed in togas and laurel wreaths'Quote:

Jari Ketomaa is aiming to drive World Rally Car in Rally Finland. The car will be DS3 or Fiesta (not a Mini). Kim Vatanen and Craig Pollock are now helping him to get the budget...
Craig Pollock???? From BAR infamy??? Is he recently involved in the affairs of rally drivers or is this a long term association of his?? I am aware of Kim Vatanen and his connections to the sport, however minor they are!!! :PQuote:

They are also manager duo behind Ogier.Quote:

I'm thinking that there will be a Russian driver as well...if Saab actually gets round to entering properly
laundry service by saab then.....i thought they made cars.
Great news for Ketomaa. Finnish newspaper Länsi-Savo states that the deal is not just "helping" but now on Jari has Kim Vatanen and Craig Pollock managing his career. Jari also said that he has never had a manager before so now he can really concentrate on driving.Quote:

Thats good news, now its just to find a car, hopefully a Citroen, and the show goes on, and after this year when Loeb stops, there would be a warm seat free to try to get.Quote:
