So Eyvind Brynildsen back in WRC2 with a Fiesta RRC ;)
He hasn't said anything yet officially, only thing he said is full national championship and "some" wrc2. I think sweden, finland and some tarmac maybe, or what the budget says yes to;)

Evgeny Novikov podría volver al Mundial con un Ford Fiesta R5 en el Rallye de Monte-Carlo #WRC #WRC2
This was posted on December 28th which coincidentally is the anniversary of the Vodafone will be title sponsor M-Sport story. More info on Evgeny's return to WRC can be found here http://spanish.about.com/b/2014/04/0...-is-dec-28.htm
Novikov would be the new DMack driver, now that Tanak is with MSport. Novikov is a good and fast driver but I would like to see that DMack give that chance to a younger talent who didn't have the chance to drive with good material at the top. Novikov had already plenty of chances..
EDIT: DMack just denied this rumour on Twitter.
Pirellis then?

@voiceofrally @DMACK_Tyres sorry to burst your bubble Col but it's the first we've heard of it too!!
Just keep an eye on Eric Camilli in WRC2, he could impress a lot ;)
Craig Breen´s team in WRC2 is called Sainteloc Junior Team, not Peugeot Rally Academy like in ERC. Probably his WRC2 campaign is payed in big parts by his father´s business.
Yes Craig Breen's father is rich. I don't see the point in your next remark; Peugeot Rally Academy is run by Saintéloc, it is exactly the same team. They only changed names according to the different championships.
Of course Sainteloc services the cars in ERC, but Peugeot is paying and giving orders to Sainteloc. I just was wondering about the name of Peugeot missing in WRC2 campaign.
Okay that's a good one, I guess PR wise PSA wants Peugeot only in ERC...but that's a contradiction because Citroen is also participating ERC next to Peugeot... So I don't understand either ;)
Citroën is not participating in ERC as a manufacturer. There is no Citroën official entrant. It's most likely like Wuff said. ERC campaign of Peugeot is run and financed by PSA while the WRC2 starts of Breen are most likely his personal interest. Anyway I can't see any benefit of manufacturer entry into WRC2. The marketing value for them is close to zero. WRC2 is good for private drivers.
Cronin (DS3 R5): POR, ITA, GER, FRA, ESP, WAL
Joan Carchat (AND): POR, ITA, POL/FIN, DEU, FRA, ESP (WAL ?) with Lancer EVO X
Any news about Alistair Fisher ???? He stopped JWRC or will he run after Monte-Carlo(or in WRC2 this time) :confused:

I hope you do not have to eat your words during the rally. Quite bold statement considering those mentioned drivers have not achieved anything on a world level. I would not rate them high only because they are norwegians, but then again I come from a nation where people are not blindfolded with patriotism.
Tidemand is a huge favorite in WRC2.
Who are Robin Friberg and Thomas Thunström ???? Good drivers :confused:
They also are in R5/WRC2 on entrylist Rally Sweden ;)
Well, me too:)
Grøndal is undobtely fast, he beated most of the wrc2 drivers last years in sweden with an old impreza gr N.
Brynhildsen has good results in international rallies several times, won in wales couple of years ago (disqulified when his team put unhomologated calippers on the backbrakes)
Larsen is top 5 contender, was fast in sweden and finland in an R2 couple of years ago.
Åhlin is swedish, and fast:)
Tidemand is the biggest favorite to win, with grøndal and brynhildsen to do what they can. Going to be exiting to se those two on sigdalrally this weekend, grøndal first on snow with Ds3 R5.
Stéphane Lefèbvre leading WRC2 after day one Monte-Carlo
Quentin Gilbert leading WRC3/JWRC after day one Monte-Carlo

What happened to Breen? How has his rally been, I haven't followed closely....
not so fast vs Lefebvre,Camilli,Koci, even Kremer.
he did today a comment that ''thanks to my mechanic finally we find a perfect setup for the car and now i can push''
But was 20 sec behind the 3 faster cars from his category.This interview was 2 stages from day end if i remember correct.
Hmmm, thanks. I thought he would be quicker than some of those guys, maybe I was expecting too much...
I was expecting more from Breen too but maybe he is playing the long game, knowing that speed doesn't matter much in WRC2.
