Not sure where to put this but for those who listen to WRR, Becs has announced she's leaving. There'll be a new team for Sweden.
No offence to her but I always thought the programme was all about Colin Clark and so I'm sure the programme will remain strong in her absence.
So she´s leaving just like that? What´s behind this? I loved Becs voice in the studio.
MAybe she´s doing promotion for Ford in the future. That would also suit her.
more good news...
Wonder if the FIA renegotiated their new contract with Crown Media?Quote:

Good job it's in rumours and she has just denied the rumour on FacebookQuote:

All the ****talking people on this forum are now disappointed. That´s suits me well. I´m really happy if I can hear Becs voice in the future of WRC coverage. And Becsie, I´m glad maybe you´re reading this. Keep on the good work and bather not the foolish ones appearing on this forum!Quote:

Wasnt Ken supposed to be doing say a full years WRC in his 2nd year and so on.
The drive Chris had in the Citroen seems only short time ago but that was the start of 2009 I believe. What happend his connection with Proton? When I heard about the Subaru R4 drive I thought it will get him back into the spotlamp but now its seems not to be.
Do people think that Volkswagen should consider Chris as he probably has competed in all 14 or 15 rounds at least twice and maybe history of podiums already also?
No she hasn't denied the rumour - she's leaving WRR but staying in the WRC doing something else. TV commentary I assume?Quote:

He will be fast - at least on gravel! I saw him testing Baumschlager's (BRR) Fabia last year - and he was from the beggining much faster than Baumschlager. :up:
I believe Chris Mellors said Atko will never be a Proton again. They has a major disagreement about something that ended their relationship.Quote:

looks like WRC is gonna become the same **** as formula yawn, with events in rich gypsy countries instead of traditional european ones..... NO THANKS !Quote:

If that means there will be more manufacturers I don't really mind. Of course it is nice to have all the rallies in places where people love the sport, but what if there are only a couple of manufacturers left?Quote:

I can't understand what is going with this world. Why not leave some things alone?Quote:

Brazil is 6th most-growing market in the world (due to Olympics and World Cup, but also for industrialization), so it would be a good choice. And India has a better growing-rate than China. Any of these four would be quite good IMHO.Quote:

My point is, if we replace a established event for a risk in a BRIC country we may lose the established event for awhile longer than one year. If you get my meaning?Quote:
