Poland in for 2014 WRC
@Krisse_Sohlberg: Here is a rumour for u @voiceofrally, @The_Rally_Guru. #Mikko seen in Munich airport last week with driving gears..Testing for #Hyundai ?
He was in Germany for a PR event of Citroen and also drove the DS3 R1 the day after that and giving some tips to the German cup drivers..
So I guess that must be it instead of testing for Huyndai?
It makes little sense indeed. Hyundai facility is close to Frankfurt not Münich. Why would anybody fly to Münich to go to Frankfurt when in Frankfurt there is the biggest airport in Europe?
4 wins out of 7 with a new car is boring? Suggest your threshold requires re-calibration ;) . For the last 5 years people have been crying out for someone to beat Citroen (they didn't add 'but not all the time' as they rubbed their magic lamps). Firstly JML is clearly improving and the internal battle promises to be fascinating. Citroen were caught cold and realise they have to up their game (taking the ball home and not playing any more is also still a possibility) and we have a serious Hyundai in preparation. Works for me! I shall be in Germany where I expect the contest to be really great, given the improvements JML made last year.Quote:

Does anyone know what Dmack is planning to do in the WRC in future? Ketomaa has not been doing much with Autotek competitivley this year.
I wonder if anyone has given any thought to the possibility that there could be significant benefits in the WRC containing itself to events in Europe only.
If the limiting of cost by having all events accessible by truck from the manufacturers rally bases, (less time and expense involved in the travel and logistics, less customs, less currency exchanges, less reliance on off shore personnel, more familiarity with officialdom) meant more manufacturers might come on board, those already involved might provide more seats, and consequently there being more opportunities for worthy drivers, I'd happily give up all events based elsewhere.
At the end of the day, few world championships in any sport travel the world. Most are based in the country or region where that sport is strongest.
Rallying is a European phenomenon. Base it there but make it grow. 10 to 12 events over a 10 month period.
