Yes the Kimi Factor should also be considered. Maybe the MasterCard money paves the way for him to Renault F1. Based on those possibilities maybe Loeb,Solberg and Sordo and Neuville make up the 4 DS3 pilots

could be yes or no 50/50 chances bcause if ogier was sure of staying at citroen he would have made it clear as soon as the news had reached the media,instead he said he ll make his decision b4 finland means theres still some arm twisting going on ;)

No sure Neuville is ready for WRC. Maybe another year away yet. He needs another season in IRC.

So effectively there will only be 8 cars in the 2011 WRC ? All WRcars are banned, so everybody else has to stick to group N cars?

Skoda said they was interested in building 1,6T cars... But i havn't heard anything more about that.

Can't they 'grandfather' the current WRCars, to ensure a reasonable entry?

I heard Skoda is considering a 1,6T, from the VW group range, but not before 2012.
So WRC 2011 wil be:
Citroen, 4 cars (Loeb, Ogier, Sordo, Raikkonen/PSolberg)
Ford, 4 cars (Hirvonen, Latvalla, Wilson, Al Qassimi? ?
plus group N Subaru's, Mitsubishi's for everybody else who wants to do WRC H Solberg, P Solberg)

Will S2000 still be allowed to, with a lot of restrictions so they do not spoil the Citroen/Ford party?

S2000 should be allowed in their current form, but no further homologation will be possible after the end of this year. That's how I've interpreted it.

But yeah, for starters there will only be the works cars in the WRC class, I doubt Citroen or Ford will be able to produce enough cars to supply privateers before the start of the season. And we can just forget about any other works teams joining the party for 2011 I think, we'll have to wait atleast another year for that.

Also the S2000 have still 'jokers' in the their current homologation
