Yeh that's the general impression i get and his dad. I also thought about Keith Cronin as a possibility. Alistair McRae never had the chance to shine in the WRC and has always set consistent times. Think of this McRae is 40, Block is 44 and he's just starting in the WRC!!!Quote:

Keith Cronin and Craig Breen are Irish. Not British. Full stop.
I'd prefer to see e.g. Louise COOK in the car then MWj ;)
What about Jonny Greer or Jason Pritchard ?
i think we are out of the topics subject...lets get back to rumours and news rather than drop random names of drivers.

Those people didn't fight for their independence for centuries so that you can call them British or even English . Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom , but not Great Britain . Republic of Ireland is an independent country . Is that so hard to remeber ?
Meeke is Irish too and not from Great Britain as many people says...
Meeke is from Dungannon, Northern Ireland. That's still part of GB...
Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom , but not Great Britain . Republic of Ireland is an independent country as urabus said.

this explains it!
MODS can you create a treat for nationalities?
Meeke, McRae and Burns are Dutch drivers !!! WilliamIII conquered Great Britan and Ireland. And the new king will be Charlses' son, William IV, so originally the Uk is from The Netherlands.
Loeb is partly France, but also Britisch, because ones the UK conquered France. But also Germany conqeured France. And that part of France belonged to The Netherlands. So Loeb is France/Britisch/Dutch/German.
can we now please go back to news and rumours? thanks

Armindo Araujo's project with Mini is not only for 2011, but it is a 2-3 year plan.
"What is agreed with my sponsors is that this project is 2 / 3 years. That is, the first year is to learn and develop the car, going back to what the brand wants. In fact, before it all black white, could confirm a number of important details: my status on the team (pilot satellite), access to regular testing throughout the season and evolutions of the car. Moreover, there is even the chance to realize more than the rallies planned by the team official in the first year. "
This is in accordance with the program initially presented to their sponsors and providing a first season with eight rallies (probably all the European stage of the championship, starting on the Vodafone Rally de Portugal).

It’s going to be very interesting to follow his season.
One thing I been wondering about is how Prodrive have been delivering the cars even before the Mini has been homologated (or I don’t if it has been already but I assume it hasen’t).

Brynildsen wil do the 2011 S-WRC with a Skoda Fabia serviced by PSWRT
Skipping Mexico, he will do Jordania, Italy, Greece, Finland, Germany, France and Spain.
I think that english original will be more understandable for you - http://www.wrc.com/swrc/news/young-s...urn/?fid=14195
What I still don´t get: P.Solberg, Quesnel´s gun against Skodas in IRC, is running a Skoda in SWRC...Quote:

This sounds a little bit more reasonable then, but still...Quote:

My understanding is that they originally wanted to run ex-Henning's Fiesta for Brynildsen but that was before they settled new deal with Skoda Norway. But maybe I'm wrong.
What ? I don't understand , what language is that ??? :)Quote:

Here's hoping - VW would bring much needed 'respect'/gravitas to the WRC. A mega company owning all kinds of companies - and with the finance, resources to take on Citroen. Providing they do it properly.......

Dont worry, they will,
For those whom it may interest, you can now purchase a Juho Hanninen soft toy from your local Skoda retailer :)
