He did a good job last year being able to survive, to say the least. On the other hand, he even beat Ogier face to face :D !Quote:

Juho and Hyundai rumour in Finnish tv was already two weeks ago. That same program was also where I first heard about Juho's Ford plans and Lappi's Skoda chance, so they're onto something at times. However, if this withdrewal is linked to that, that's harsh.Quote:

Latvala?
Only Mikkelsen according to VW Motorsport press release.

Ogier forced to withdraw from “Fafe Rally Sprint”
Volkswagen rally driver Sébastien Ogier (F) has been forced to withdraw from the legendary “Fafe Rally Sprint” on Saturday on medical grounds. The Frenchman had intended participating in the show event held near Porto with co-driver Julien Ingrassia (F) in preparation for Portugal’s round of the FIA World Rally Championship (11 – 14 April).
“Unfortunately I have been laid low by an influenza infection, leading my doctor to insist that I withdraw,” regrets Ogier. “I would really have liked to participate in this unique event, but my World Rally Championship commitments must take precedence. I hope the fans understand that.”
However, one Volkswagen Polo R WRC will take the start in Fafe, driven by Andreas Mikkelsen (N) and his co-driver Mikko Markkula (FIN). The Nordic duo will give it their all in front of the 100 000 spectators who are expected to pack the 6,34 kilometre course on 06 April, as the crew targets not only victory, but also the world record on one of the most spectacular jumps in rallying. Currently the record stands at 73,5 metres, set by Armin Schwarz in a Škoda Octavia WRC in 2000.
After the event the Volkswagen team heads for the Rally Portugal, which starts with qualifying on 11 April and ends with a podium ceremony in the Algarve Stadium near Faro on 14 April.
Not understanding, and don`t liking it at all, why VW insists on not allowing JM Latvala to participate on Fafe Rally Sprint... :down:
Me neither. Why did they sign him at all? It was obvious what his performance will be. Let him bin it everywhere or fire him immediately.Quote:
