i been working in wrc for 15 years now and you are the only guy i know that can evaluate the design of a engine from a youtube video through a video camera s microphone

fair play old man

Who said anything about designing? Just told you what sound I heard. If you´d worked 16,5 years you´d know what I meant.

So M-Sport didn't announce this week after all.. looks like they could provide the most interesting aspect of the drivers market this year.

Any news about Abbring's outings next year?

I think Neuville's contract extention at Hyundai has been pretty bad news for him...

Any chance they'll sign someone capable of winning, or will they continue with the current policy of securing 7th and 8th on every rally?

M-sport gives the cars to the highest bidder.

Winners prefer to get paid.

It seems that Ostberg has no agreement with MSport for the moment. Camilli and Tanak has tested with the '17 car no footage yet of Slowberg.

Lucky to Ford WRC2 team? For me that would be a most natural and spectacular move from MW.

He is spectacular driver but he has made spectacular crashes aswell ;) would be nice to see him drive wrc2. Wrc need personalities like lucky.

I think he would be better of with R5 in WRC2 and some WRC outings next year. And even with Neuville gone, I don't think he would've been the 3rd driver next year.
