What about Mini, they should have some cars on the grid aswell (unless the project is dead).

No skoda 1.6T in 2011, they will keep on concentrating on the 2l:

Thierry N certainly looked good in Bulgaria in JWRC but was a fair bit off the pace in Ypres and only finished as high as he did because of the retirements of others. Abbring or Weiss Jr probably have as much chance of a Citroen drive as Weiss already has shown well in the Citroen JWRC and Abbring was quicker than Gp N cars in his Clio at Ypres.Quote:

Pitty, when and if they are making the 1.6T car, it will be already late. Competition will evolve and they will be some years trying to catch them performance wise, and it will end like the Fabia WRC.Quote:

:(Didn't Quesnel more or less tell Meeke a while back that if he was French hed be driving the car, but due to the fact that Ireland and Britain dont bring much to the party for Citroen commercially he wouldnt be getting a seat :(Quote:

Dont you think that the results played a role too?, Sainz was by far better than McRae.Quote:
