[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

So Evans confirmed as doing the full 7 Rounds of the BRC.. and he was previously supposed to be doing 14 WRC events (7 WRC / 7 WRC-2)...

Does this mean some of the WRC events will have to be missed now surely ?

Last preparation this week with all team for Monte event include photos/videos

Mexico and Mid Wales Stages are on the same weekend. Same situation with Ulster Rally and Germany.

Did anyone ever really believe the very loose rumour that he would do every event?

There was never any point in dumping him from the team, hiring Camilli and then only giving the new kid a few events...

Agree with rallyfiend. That programme sounded way too good to be true - and was not being reported by any established sources.

Autosport is a waste of paper and print ink/server space unless you are interested in Formula showbiz down to an almost ridiculous level. They almost analyse the breakfast contents of F1 drivers on autosport :/

There's nothing in autosport to be found for the average rally fan.

Capito out as VW Boss. He will continue until a new Boss is found.

Wow, interesting - hope that doesn't mean anything bad for their involvement long-term, although I guess that means he's moving upwards?

Honestly though, it will be good to see the back of him as I always thought he doesn't seem to understand the sport or what it stands for and the plans he was trying to push in recent years would have been the death of rallying.

Quite a surprise!

Edit: He's the McLaren Racing new CEO!

It comes as an unexpected news. Would be interesting to see how (and if) the VW's internal politics will change now, starting with the "no team orders" policy...
