Who has said he will have more tests and priority?Quote:

So only Henning would have been better to hear it also from Mr Wilson...Quote:

Wilson Junior is already confirmed for 12 rallies and Aava is still talking with them. Rumors said that he will announce his program during this week but there is nothing yet.Quote:

5. Villagra 8 rounds,
6. Qassimi x rounds
7. Merkensteijn 8 rounds
8. Merkensteijn 8 rounds
Citroen:
1. Loeb 12 rounds
2. Sordo 12 rounds
3. Rautenbach 12 rounds
4. Ogier 6+x rounds
5. Novikov 8 rounds
6. Atkinson 1+x rounds
Subaru:
1. Ostberg 8 rounds
So, in my mind it looks that C4 is currently overbooked. before the season, Citroen told that they are able to service 5 cars for each rally. So, if Atkinson manages to extend his contract to Norway, then there should be already 6 C4-s. And if young hot shoes like Ogier and Novikov somehow "destroy" their cars (and quite likely Rautenbach as well), then there is a small problem in Citroen camp already.
At the same time there is one car virtually missing for Munchis (if they wont decide that for 4 rounds Wilson and Henning are scoring points for Munchis). So, there might be a place for Galli, Aava or why not P. Solberg? They have 13 latest spec Focuses and therefore enough capacity:-)
The most attractive currently looks Subaru Adapta. They have many cars, Prodrive support and only one certain driver :-) And currently it looks unlikely that Prodrive takes over Honda F1 team.
And I am surprised by the price Henning payed. Only 11 milj Norwegian kr? That is just a little bit over 1 milj Eur for the whole season?
I think that it is vital for the Ford championship hopes to "hire" (with little bit reduced sponsor money of course) at least one of those drivers (Solberg, Galli and Aava).
Hopefully Aava.Quote:
