They are still looking for more sponsors, they have a thin budget unfortunately. They switched from Hankook to Pirelli to be able to score points. They will get Pirelli technical support.

Also, they had the option for Citroen importer backing and TRT car, but opted to go with own car & team - we will see if this was the correct decision, for me not knowing the inside infos, it is a bit strange. I really like them and they already have a big following here, so hopefully more sponsors come aboard and help them this season and in the future.

WRC Promoter event director Simon Larkin says they want to add a French round to the ERC and for up to 9 rounds in total:

“We would like to have an event in France, we’re in discussions with a couple of options there.”
Perhaps a round to fill the gap between Fafe and Canarias or between Barum and Hungary as they are happy with the current spread;
“March to October is absolutely the right time to do it. We get the WRC season kicked off, it gives the competitors a bit more time to find budget to commit and to finish a little bit earlier as well. We’re very happy with the spread.”
