Haven't been online for three weeks and now I found Todt and Loeb won. And more ridiculous ramblings. I didn't realized how extremely boring WRC is. Not even Petter still competing cuts it. It's more like watching manufacturers parade. I'm not following this championship anymore till the new cars are in.
Jari Ketomaa is in talks with Ford to drive Fiesta S2000 in S2000 Cup (or whatever it's called at the moment) next season. (Link leads to Finnish YLE News) I would love to see more of Ketomaa in a current WRC car, but as a bet for future, this sure sounds reasonable well. Hopefully he could pull through this deal, or at least something. Lately he have been testing Adapta's Subaru WRC as well as Corsa S2000.
Good news, now still hopefully Anton Alen gets out from Fiat and IRC, before his carreer is completely over.Quote:

And for Abarth, if they stay in IRC or rallying, they will need a more reliable driver who is good on all surfaces to partner Basso.
Is that so? ok now when the Alens them self has gone public about this, maybe its correct to talk about it here too.Quote:

I think that would be quite unprofessional. Better to get the head down and concentrate on rebuilding his career don't you think?Quote:

Not in this case i dont, because this has nothing to do with slow car, its about how they Grifone treat him inside the team, he is not getting tests, too few drives aswell at this point of the carreer, best thing would be to get rid of the contract somehow, so that he would not have to be on someone elses mercy.Quote:

Tomi, be honest for once. Don't see him as your usual countrymates to be defended at all costs. His father was great, the son... not.
