very good news...now the excuses are over for good for everyone if the deal is done. Lets hope Ford continues in the WRC as well...
The comparison between Latvala-hirvonen and Tanak is going to be very interesting.

So it's 50-50 but if you think about the manufacturers' championship more then Petter would be stronger in that sense."

Read on twitter that Gerard Quinn is heading to m-sport today! He has been quiet on twitter so maybe over to finalise things ready for announcement Monday?
Yes, very good news!
If deal is really done it´s interesting see what is Petter´s speed now days. I mean that when he can "only" drive rallycar, not allso manage private team.
Why not announcement this week?Quote:

I think that having Petter with JML will be awesome and a true threat to the manufacturers title. Both are very fast and will be pushing like hell to get the title. This may be Ford's last chance both before VW and MINI get to full speed, and Ford may say "if you screw this up we are out".
I wonder if Petter and Jari will have equal status in the team if this becomes the definitive line-up?
I should expect JML would get priority because of his commitment and faithfulness to Ford, but theres plenty of Rallys next season, and I reckon if Petter is in the factory Ford team, he can say goodbye to his win-drought :DQuote:
