What is more likely with Mads ?
a) Mads takesover the Citroen DS 3 (ex-P Solberg) and support from Citroen Norway.
b)Mads continues with M-Sport but has selected rounds.
c)Mads has an Adapta(?) run Mini Wrc ?

Mads says that it now btw Ford or Citroen, Mini is out.

The deal with both teams are written but not signed. Small details on both remains before he decides.

Its fairly clear that Citroen (PSA Group) view Thierry Neuville as the future heir to Loeb. Perhaps Mads sees Ford, with Tanak a better medium term option, especially if JML goes to VW in 2013.

NRK says that he will drive for Adapta WRT ,but it might change later..
They also says he/sponsors need to bring roughly 1,5M GBP

@Sulland His name is Østberg not Ostberg, you should know ;)

He will or he can? these are two different things, You must wait with this nonsense until his contract is over with Ford.

In a year can change alot! Mikkelsen or Abbring could do very impressive things, that maybe VW management is so impressed they don't need somebody else out of their squad.

They have a chap called Ogier, he's quite fast....

Maybe new Citroen and Ford model of one clear no.1 and no.2 would work better?

As Broter John said, let's wait for the 2012 results - he has been around a few years now and is yet to mount a convincing championship challenge.

Mr Jouhki has said few months back that one of the two JML or Mikko will drive for VW 2013, since that Mikko signed a contract with Citroen for two years so ...

C'mon guys a serious team like VW why would they choose some driver who has never won anything except his relatives respect, instead of someone who has showed that he can win rallies.
If the team would be something like Prodrive maybe, but now we are talking about a team who want Championships.

That is why Latvala is not a good choice.... he can win rallies but so far he loses all chances of a title, mid-season. And how many Championships ford has with Latvala behind the wheel ??

...... exactly

Exactly. I´d say JML is needed beside Ogier if VW wants to be on top of WRC. He´s the only current driver they´d choose. They are not Prodrive. They have much more strycture and planning as the invest millions on this project.
Paddon, Mikkelsen, Hänninen have to accept second team at least in 2013.
