Did he ever give a reason for losing the mustache?
Does anyone know when the irally.com website is going to be activated ?
Is the Makinen kindergarten going to be an early driver talent identification and training facility ?
If you want to look more detailed "making of" pictures of Kankkunen's car restorations visit MAT - Makela Auto Tuning - HISTORIC SPORTS AND RACING CAR SPECIALIST -->projects. It's not the ordinary tuning workshop :)

Citroen affirms WRC commitment in wake of Peugeot's withdrawal from endurance racing - WRC news - AUTOSPORT.com
Matton said: "I see everybody from the team this afternoon to tell them I have confirmation from Mr [Frederic] Banzet the manager of the [Citroen] brand that our programme continues and we have guarantees to be here in the future."
..
Matton added that further proof of Citroen's commitment came in the driver contracts it confirmed ahead of this season.
"The best proof is that we sign two years with Mikko [Hirvonen], three years with Nasser Al-Attiyah, with an option for two more. We are there for the future and we will stay after Sebastien Loeb retires.
"If we were not staying after Sebastien Loeb, what would be the point to have a young driver like Thierry Neuville signed now? We are staying."
Good choice...once the king retires the LEGACY will go on and on....
I think he's speaking in PSA's name and not Citroën and that Peugeot will take over. Doesn't suprise they'll continue. The Le Mans withdrawal suprises me a bit, they're also there very strong but I think the costs are probably more or much more then WRC. And I think media exposure isn't there so good like the WRC is.
I don't know about that. Le Mans gets a lot of media attention, a week long, more then a WRC event, with the acception of Monte carlo, but that's only because Monte is special, Monte is a week long event and it is opening ball of WRC. And scoring at Le mans makes a big impact. Also losing big at Le mans makes a big impact onthe CEO's :( . I thing it was a budget issue,sportscars costs too much, and having too little succes at Le mans, it is getting too litltle reward on the Euro.
Yes but that's only Le Mans, just one week per year.
Also, in most of the publics eye, when someone wins a rally eg Ogier, that means Seb Ogier has won this rally, when someone wins Le Mans eg Kristensen, that means Audi has won Le mans....Er, did that make any sense...? :pQuote:

Dennis Kuipers has a very rich father (René Kuipers), so they have some nice rally cars.
But still his program is unknown, right? He is not on the entry list of the Swedish Rally :confused:
^^
I think some teams are waiting to understand how the WRC will be covered, before entering the series...
I think their sponsor is their own business, isn't it?Quote:

Yes, his outings on tarmac were very encouraging, but he should stop there.
It is not a Kevin Abbring, but he showed progress in the two years with the Fiesta S2000 and the WRC.
reported...
bye bye
nice video.
brother John show him what hell is made of !!! :D
I would also put him behind Weijs in speed. Quicker than van M'stn though. Has to be remembered that Denis has Fred Miclotte as co-driver and he is very good - No disrespect to Bjorn or Lara.Quote:

Kuipers still has plans to do WRC this season, but because of the whole NOS saga sponsors are a little cautious.
About Hans Weijs; still nothing about his plans for this year.
I hope to see all the NL drivers have a programme in 2012 as they all are worth watching but sponsorship is the big issue, I do understand that.- Very good Monte so far for AbbringQuote:

Todt, shut the **** up.
Maybe because he has contract now with Citroen/Qatar he has to drive PSA cars..Quote:

Personally, they should have run Turini & Luceram tonight like the last 3 IRC events - and not bother with a Power Stage. They will restart tomorrow afternoon for 4 stages, then finish on Sunday with the Power Stage. I wonder how much influence NOS had when the Monte returned to the WRC? It's just dragged the whole event out to 5 days....
Loix did it although the Fiesta was on a test. Weird that Solowow never bought a Fabia, car is very fast and reliable.Quote:

I see he says he wants to get rid of super-rally as nowhere else can you retire and start again a few hours later, well in BTCC you can retire in the first race and start again and score points in the second and third races so he is wrong thereQuote:

Also, sometimes in the cases of the top boys it is incredible to see the amount of time that they can claw back.
