Great news for WRC overall :).

Imagine if Mini was still involved in WRC! More seats for talents, better championship. I really hope Seb O. wont dominate next season as well to make it more interesting!!

[quote] Hehe, Meeke for full season in Citroen without paying? When he was practically out a few week ago, judging from all the quotes on this forum?
No, let´s see tomorrow. Mikko stays and then maybe Ostberg as "semi" paying driver. MAybe Meeke in a few rallies, if he has some money to bring. [quote]


Rallyper disappeared swiftly after news broke... :laugh:. Thought he wouldve been happy with one of the 'Nordic drivers' getting a great drive but his dislike of meeke runs a little deeper it appears

Now Sordo left Citroen, to be replaced by Meeke.

Not really relevant; I think Meeke would have stayed with Mini if they had any money and Sordo has left for Hyundai so not necessarily "dropped"

---

That's why I said Sordo 'left' and not 'dropped.'

Still it's a funny situation.

Well, I accept everything until it´s official and I don´t consider Meekes contract official until tonight. There´s nothing wrong with that. But let´s hope he can stay on the road then he´ll be a threat to anyone of the top guys. My comments about Meeke is just depending on looking one or two months in the mirror about this forums evaluation of Meekes performance.

I don´t think Mads pays for this chair, or does he? His comment gives at least me the assumption of him being one out of two paid drivers.

BTW. I just came in after doing carpentry (?) on my new sauna which shall be ready for first bath the day before christmas. That´s why no comments until now.

Somehow I don't think Meeke paid for his seat. Mads? Maybe.

I really cant imagine that after all these years Kris Meek suddenly has a load of money to buy himself a drive :laugh:

Can't wait to see how he gets on with a full season in a very good car :D

It is possible that Citroen UK chucked some money into the pot for example.

But I think it is well known that Matton likes Meeke.

Ironic that Meeke and Jonas Andersson have won together.
