Prodrive Mini WRC

Might be good news but only if it goes in-house or to another company. At least there'll be finally a good budget behind it.
The bad news is it is canned completely.

Maybe it's time that guys like D.Richards leave the sport.

I would assume that the cars then won't run in Sweden?

I believe DR was a problem for Munich. Don't know why but they disagreed on many things as the project progressed. That was why he stepped back and put Wilcock in charge. The technical side must be seen as a success, just no money.

No more works mini (at the moment it seems) and if Eurosport cotract fails, sport is going down again.

Could someone explain me the logic behind the decision to run one additional rally at the beginning of a new season to make the decision? What is one rally going to change, that I don't understand.

It's nothing for BMW. But media situation in WRC is terrible at the moment.
