I agree with Jarek. Look at last two WRC2 winners (Breen and Kubica) - till now they didnt won any event in ERC/IRC...

Agreed! A move to a Gallic team hasn't necessarilly been good for non-French drivers (McRae, Burns etc).

One just needs to be good enough, like One Mr. Grönholm :stareup:

iRally:
Robert Kubica team will be known as "RK M-Sport World Rally Team"

Entrant for Neuville and Hänninen in Sweden is Hyundai Motorsport (not Hyundai Shell World Rally Team)

Would that be the same Mr Gronholm that finished behind Burns in 03 dispite Burns being ill?
Re: M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams
Burnsie was as good as Bosse, no doubt.

I dont agree. Bosse was faster that Burns. Burns was complex driver with perfect strategy and ballance between "to be in finish" and "speed". But Bosse was faster driver...

Completely agree.
I think it is to early for Evans to drive a full WRC season in a WRC car and Hirvonen already had too many chances. Good luck to Kubica.
Re: M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams
It looks like a good year coming. Mikko did so much better in the Ford. And I believe Sordo and TM will keep Ogier honest. Mikko in the Ford used to apply a lot of pressure to Loeb, and I hope he can do the same for Ogier. Ogier has not really had anyone to test his mettle this year.
