[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

Great news to have another Brit back in the WRC if only for one rally... :)

So happy for Meeke as he has been waiting patiently for a drive since Mini let him go so unfortunately.

Hope Finland goes well for him and it leads to a full-time drive in the WRC with any team in 2014...

Another bad driver decision from citroen.

Marius Aasen had a tiny dent in the rollcage right next to the seat and he had to retire in Greece...

I too was wondering the same thing when I first saw pix of the M-sport guys cutting it away in the Service Park, then I realised that they were complying with the FIA reg that says only the rollcage's manufacturer can repair it!

Not sure about the Brit part but we'll not go there......

Local chat was that he had got it but like everything, until it's official it ain't happening.

@noel157. I''m Desperate for this to work out so Kris gets a permanent ride, don't begrudge us Brits someone to get behind, I'm tired of hearing La Marseiies played at the podium ceremony on every trip I make to see WRC in Europe ;)

Hope it works out well for Kris and that he gets a decent chance to test before the rally.

Change of date of the Cyprus Rally (MERC). Now it is held on 11-13 October. See page 10 here:

You aren't serious are you?

Matton will need to know if the lacklustre performances by the current joint No 2s is the car or psychology. Expect Meeke to be under orders to go as hard as he can. -If the team mates don't match him then something will have to give. This is no rookie chance or someone like Atko who had no experience with the DS3. What would you do if you were Matton?
