S14 costs 470 000GBP plus FAT (70k more then S12b) and is bad car around Citroen and Ford.. Clean road and Gronholm and around fouth place is possible. But first on the road podium is possible only from Mr.Richards hellicopter..
M-Sport announces development of new Ford Fiesta Super 2000 rally car.
Work is due to commence soon on the car, which will be ready for homologation in January 2010.

But the ideia must be rent the cars instead selling it.Quote:

Couple of chinks of light at the end of the tunnel of doom - the above stories about the Fiesta S2000 being ready for January 2010 and in Motorsport News today Citroen say their S2000 will be ready middle of 2010 for 'winter calendar' Citroen drivers contracts up end of 09, - (I guess an 'acceleration of the programme' would be possible, especially with the synergy with the Pugeot 207)and a strong hint that Loeb is considering a switch to endurance racing. I dont believe that S2000 is fantastic as a concept but if it brings more teams, cars, and drivers rather than 'gentlemen with fat wallets' then I am all for the move as soon as possible.
Sounds like good news. This 'Winter calendar' is a mistake though - the thinking behind it doesn't make sense - no other major Motorsport series does it, so why now?
Why would Loeb go into less noticed series? In my view F1 is the only option beside rallying and perhaps DTM.Quote:
