If they want a Brit and Meeke doesn't want the gig then surely it's got to be Guy Wilks? I'm confident that Wilks could do a better job than Matt Wilson.
My god...that list radiates disaster...hope richards is better than this at selecting drivers. This list should include the drivers for the customer cars and then we see what they can do.
In the latest issue of GP Week, there's an article about the Mini entry in WRC.
Apparently BMW only gave his 'GO' for an S2000 homologation (with 1.6turbo motor). To enter the WRC, you need a full works commitment from a registered manufacture, so until BMW commits for a real WRC entry there will 'only' be an S2000 version of the car.

Consider that the FIA is planning only to allow 2.0l NA S2000 cars in SWRC, where will the Mini score points? What if BMW will never go for a real works commitment?
Maybe IRC is a better place for the MINI: Monte Carlo :)
