Read in a swedish rallymagazine, in an article about Volvos wtccengine, that they mentioned a smaller Volvo model, and that the engine was still under developing because of future mission's. They raced wtcc with c30 last year, but not this year. Anyone heard about an smaller volvomodel in testing? I haven't, but things can happens still :)
Here is a picture of a Volvo C20, probably a photoshop but it least it shows there is somebody out there having the same brain waves :)Quote:

When I woke up for the day, I also received information that I had been admitted into university after six months of sh*tloads of studying. I remember the day forever. :)Quote:

So if Prodrive won't get the budget for France and Spain, it would be possible to see him again with the Fiesta. Of course, if Latvala doesn't recover for Greece, Dani will be the first option again. It's obvious that the more Rallyes he'll run with Ford the more options he'll have to join the team next year. At the same time, it would feed the rumours about Latvala going to VW.
I am amazed that Prodrive is going to NZ and not somewhere else in Europe (with 2 cars no less!).
Sordo has spoken about his first impressions of the Fiesta in comparison to the Mini and the DS3: "The Ford is very different to the Mini, because it moves more. In this sense, it's more like the Citroën. It is softer and in some ways the Mini is better, the Ford is better in others. I also noticed that the engine has a bit more power".
I wouldn't expect him to tell the truth about either car to honest - he's about to drive for one, while contracted to the other. He has to b very considered in his comments.Quote:

From watching (live not tv) and hearing the engine note I dont think the Mini engine was far behind the Citroen, but I admit I havent seen any rally this year yet, but I beleive the Ford engine mapping and characteristics are different from last year.Quote:

Good to see JML recovering ahead of schedule, also good that he has respect and admiration for his team mate.
Interesting link below, suggests that a certain MINI JCW Rally team is coming to NZ :rolleyes:

It is said the car Moura has tested is the Impreza R4 of ARC Sport. He might be thinking in any WRC start with that car after not continuing his IRC program.
If you test a WRC car you show it from the very first time.
