Nice marketing from Huyndai.

He had one with Miclotte, but unfortunately they didn't really get a fair opportunity in 2012 by VW.

Didn't notice that one. Anyway, now it is here in both Portuguese and English :P

Seems like FIA decided that they are going trough with the change in groups. Another thing they decided is that all WRC drivers will use colored banners on the windscreen, so that it is clear in what class a certain competitor is competing. Hallelujah... :D

His english is very good but do you know if he needs his notes in Dutch / Flemish? He's had Mombaerts too iirc and Lara :colour:
Was Fred M a regular or a one-off when he wasn't with Kuipers or Loix?

Maybe even Meeke could have but as second driver. :confused:

Citroen could use both in a good way to score as much points as possible.

Im sure Tanak will be back in wrc at some stage, if only he could get some funding for even just partial erc programme to get him back in the loop. I doubt we will see him next year but i agree with you and bluuford here that Meeke+ Tanak pairing wouldn't be the worst solution out there for citroen but both are very crash prone, it would be exciting though :laugh:! As Kielder said in hyundai thread, whoever citroen get as another driver it could surprise people.

He was to be his regular co-driver. VW wanted to have someone with more experience sitting next to him so they basically threw Lara out after Monte Carlo. But then they only got 3 more events for the rest of the year.
