Rumour that the WRc in Australia next year will allow Australian PRC cars to compete.

If this is so, I will bring out the WRC Daihatsu Charade. Its half a World Rally Car, 1.0lt Turbo FWD.

Yess .. Marcus retire for this reason.. too many travel around the world.. But rumour announce it too, in Subaru Adapta Team (Ostberg) ... And this team is going to wrc next year with light program, only 10 rounds (and Maybe 2 others rallies far away) .. Maybe a good thing for Marcus to drive a light program. ;)

You mean, Citroen would not have asked Gronholm to step in their team if Loeb was stil there, and if Loeb indeed quites, they need an experienced man to represent them. So asking Gronholm is an indication that Loeb lost his motivation, having dominated the world for 5 years now.

something like that, and other sourses about the Loeb's possible quitting also. Actually now the Mikkelsen test with Citroen comes in new light too, it can maybe be all somehow connected.

Marcus could replace Sordo to make a "SuperTeam" for one year?

Finnish people can you translate this :

Tuomisen mukaan jo viidettä maailmanmestaruuttaan metsästävä Loeb kaivannee uusia haasteita autourheilun parista.

- Veikkaan, että Loeb ei aja MM-rallia kahta kautta pitempään. En usko, että hänellä riittää motivaatiota, kun MM-sarjassa siirrytään pienempitehoiseen kalustoon, Tuominen viittasi kaudella 2011 tapahtuvaan muutokseen.

- Mutta varmasti Loeb pysyy moottoriurheilun parissa, Tuominen jatkoi.

Tuomisen mukaan tiedot siitä, että Citroen-talli olisi kysellyt Marcus Grönholmia takaisin MM-sarjaan, voivat myös liittyä Loebin lopettamispäätökseen.

- Tietysti herää kysymys, miksi Citroen olisi kysellyt juuri Grönholmin kaltaista huippukuljettajaa takaisin MM-sarjaan, Tuominen totesi.

Did Marcus not say he was asked by Citroen and Subaru and he was 50/50 considering doing it?

A very rough translation from Google:
According to Tuominen's already the fifth World Cup metsästävä Loeb in need of new challenges in automobile or two.

-- Veikkaan that Loeb does not drive the world championship rally through the two longer. I do not believe that he will have the motivation, when the world championship series move to limited equipment, Tuominen referring to the period 2011 to the change.

-- But surely Loeb remains in a couple of motor sport, Tuominen continued.

Tuominen of the information that a Citroen, the team would have a query, Marcus Grönholm back to the world championship series, may also join the Loeb lopettamispäätökseen.

-- Of course, the question arises as to why the Citroen would be a query, root-like Grönholm huippukuljettajaa back to the world championship series, Tuominen said.
