For which Mini team Nikara will drive? Prodrive? if so, are they entering Sweden Rally with one car only?

Yes Prodrive, maybe together with Henning?

Vi har snabbt gjort en koll på vilka förare som är kontrakterade för team och vilka som i egen regi eller via rykten mer eller mindre bekräftats för start i Rally Sweden. Samlingen ger 18 namn enligt nedan.

Citroen
Sebastien Loeb
Mikko Hirvonen
Daniel Sordo
Khalid Al-Qassimi

VW
Jari-Matti Latvala
Sebastien Ogier

Ford
Mats Östberg
Thierry Neuville
Evgeny Novikov
Juho Hänninen
Nasser Al-Attiyah
Jari Ketomaa
Martin Prokop
Eyvind Brynildsen
Pontus Tidemand
Hasse Gustavsson

Mini
Jarkko Nikara
Michal Kosiuszko

Jonas Andersson som co-driver till Mads Östberg och norsk co-driver blir det för Pontus Tidemand. Helsvenskt där emot väntas hos Hasse Gustavsson. Per-Gunnar Andersson och Emil Axelsson hoppas på positivt besked från Proton om start, anmälda är de trots allt. Joakim Roman nämns också han vara anmäld, osäkert där i vilken klass. I övrigt tunt med Svenskar bland de totalt 45 anmälda.

In swedish... Haha :)

Only wrc cars but PG is going for wrc2 with the two Mentos Minis and hopefully some more!

How about ken block and Chris Atkinson in a monster team, monster qsaid on twitter during the week that would announcing exciting plans very soon!!!

I think it's wierd that Prodrive not has realised yet wich drivers who is going to drive for them this year.. I had hope for a full season with two good drivers, bit now it seems like we will see different drivers from evet to event.. Boring.

But for rally sweden, I think we will see some cool names in the entrylist when it's confirmed by FIA! I hope for Block and Atkinson, Breen, Paddon and more.

It's quiet about Sandell, but he is going to drive in Mads Ostbergs Adapta Fiesta wrc in a sprint rally here in sweden on the 26 of Januari. It's in the Swedish Championship in "sprint-rally".
Maby "prepping" for rally sweden? Who knows, but I dont think so because it's very very quiet about him and wrc....

Nothing is final yet with Richard Göransson, not heard a thing about him and rally sweden... But he will maby compete in this "sprint-rally" like Sandell but in what car, I dont know...

Tidemand will drive Ingemar Svenssons Fiesta WRC. That one that Svensson drives in the Swedish rally championship.

An official source has said that in Swedish rally 2013 there will be only 4 swedish drivers and 2 norwegian! Those are Pontus, Hasse Gustafsson, PG, Joakim Roman, Anders Grondal and Mads Ostberg.

That is a catastrophicly low number!

Who decided the national calendars to conflict with Swedish rally?!

So no Solberg, no Sandell, no Göransson...

Very bad situation! There is then more drivers from Finland. At least five and maybe more...

I thought Brynildsen was confirmed too? So 3 Norwegians? And no Henning?
