Prodrive Mini WRC

At least we have mini. Beside that Prodrive sucks.

It's bad for rallying and motorsport, but I think Bmw-Mini is not interested in the World Rallye Championship.

I hope Sordo will secure a good seat for 2013. He is the best in the return of Mini since last year with diference with three podiums in seven rallyes.

Guys - why are you twisting everything what´s been said officially as "things are going worse and worse...." "it´s bull****ing#.

Can´t you see that what they are saying is what they mean and in that case as said maybe it´s a good solution meaning PD and Mini will be there in WRC in the future. Without it maybe they shouldn´t have been...?

+1 I agree.

I don't think victimising MINI & Prodrive will do anything. They are both still credible brands. I feel very strongly that any downgrade for Prodrive is a set-back for its whole WRC program.

Illness? It´s just words from FIA. And politics. So what your comment is all about is the big bosses solutions on a dinner after 2200 hours thing.

Everything will be the same for PD and MIni. Just less expensives and more testing and developing because of lower costs.

And probably the red cars will not be at all the events it now seems...

Armindo had sure some rallyes, not the full season.

Anyone looked at the Prodrive cars? They have lost their Mini Financial Services branding, the Mini Motorsport website gives preferential coverage to the MI cars and the press releases are now just for Prodrive and not fancy Mini branding.

Thata was announced during the week. Mini would support MI to have champioship points and not Prodrive. If Prodrive wants to do the rallies, that would be without Mini support.
