With Prodrive needing sponsors, you'd think they'd sign up DMACK as a major or even a title sponsor; right now, DMACK is limited to minor branding on Martin Prokop's car. That would give them a) money, b) a long-term partnership with a sponsor, and c) the freedom to sign up at least one driver irrespective of his budget.

Have you all noticed in that provisional entry-list that it looks as if both the Citroën and Ford team have split up both their teams into a factory "Full-season" Team and an M2/MT team

Citroën Total Abu Dhabi WRT:
S.Loeb
M.Hirvonen

Abu Dhabi Citroën Total WRT:
D.Sordo
K.Al Qassimi

Qatar M-Sport WRT:
M.Østberg
E.Novikov

Qatar WRT:
T.Neuville
J.Hänninen
N.Al-Attiyah

but he will have to try and keep up with ogier, which will probably put more pressure on him than in previous years.

This is an interesting point. He >>might<< have a faster car this year, but on the other hand he will have a faster team mate too.

Stop me if this is a silly question, but when was the last time the St. Nazaire le Desert—La Motte Chalancon and Sisteron—Thoard stages were used in the rally, if they have ever been used in the past?

Sisteron-Thoard was used last used in 2002 I believe. I have never heard of St Nazaire!

They have been used for sure in the past, i have been on both stage's before during Monte Carlo rally, but i don't remember exactly wich years that was. ;)

If JML has learned anything from last year then he should be happy to be first of the 'inheritors' ahead of Mikko - not sure that's in his DNA. However if SO has learned anything then he won't be at stupid speed before assessing the polo's performance in the rally conditions. Hanninen is the. Wildcard as he is looking to impress and has a car that is a known quantity.
