Prodrive, please give us the Golf RX...!!

Prodrive is the kind of business that needs payment. If someone will pay, i am sure they will be happy to do a RX version of the Golf. Just like they did with the Mini.Quote:

Sure Bakkerud tagged someone going into the joker (can't remember who, Hansen or possibly Loeb again) but I still don't think it made a difference being in a Focus, it was much the same as any other car going door to door.Quote:

What they need to do is similar to in the BTCC and announce that driving standards are going to be looked at closer.
Best thing about Loheac though was Solberg's charge in Q4(?) while doing 2 jokers, the way he went over the jump in the joker lap was pure style.
P.Solberg (2x WRX champ) and R.Larson (2014 EuroRX champ) together with support from Toyota would be a great team, eh?
welcome Jenson Button

Wow!
Bet its just the odd drive, maybe just GB.. I cant see Button in World RX permanently.Quote:

Button only alludes to doing some RX, doesn't mean it'll be in World RX. Even if it is then I'd be amazed if it's a full season, although I suspect IMG would drive a truck full of money to Monaco for him to secure the audience he'd bring.
With Eklund's/Andretti's Beetle RX and his dad's livery please..?Quote:

Has Loeb or Block brought a big audience?
Certainly in the UK Button is more famous than the entire WRX field put together, multiplied by about 10. He's truly a household name so I think he'd be massive for the awareness of the sport. It doesn't just have to be TV views to be successful - but mainstream press coverage, new sponsors etc.Quote:

will he compete in the mens RX series ?
Is that true anymore though? Loeb has got the same amount of followers on FB and Block 5 times more than Button.Quote:

Let's not kid ourselves here, Motorsport in the public eye is still made out of 95% F1. Facebook followers don't tell much, if anything at all.
Well, your from The Netherlands where according to the media only two people have ever driven a car: Jos the Boss and his son ;) The rest of the world has a more balanced viewpoint of motorsports.Quote:

If I talk to people at work who don't really like cars then they will still usually have an idea of the main protagonists and the teams, they wouldn't have a clue who Sebastian Ogier was and likely still think Subaru are in the championship.Quote:

You can find few photos from Lohéac on my flickr. Nice event great battles, drivers quite accessible but prices are increasing comparing last years and too many people, you can't move like on a rally. But i liked it

Ekstrom most likely will take the championship lead after barcelona, he managed to get into the final while Solberg did not, Loeb crashed.
Once again - Ekström Swedens best overall motorsport four wheel driver ever!
Solberg seemed off the pace all weekend really.
It's far too early to call the championship though, I think that Latvia and Argentina will be happier hunting grounds for the DS3.
Yeah, he seemed really off the pace. He didn't have any explanations for it either which is either troubling, or a sign that he has a plan he doesn't want t talk about in public.
Let's hope it's the latter.
I don't think he does well when there are really tight corners, Hockenheim was the same for him in as much as he struggled to match his normal pace.
Kristofferson penalized for his overtake of Timur Timerzjanov in the final heat which was considered to rough by the stewards.
Kristoffersson had therefore been moved to last place in the final. http://www.vf.se/sport/bilsport/kris...ter-svartflagg
On norwegian TV they said that Petter had new software, to get more grunt on lower revs, or the Barcelona track.Quote:

I guess he will change back.
He didn't seem fast out of the hairpin either, quite the opposite actually so whatever that was didn't work..
I thought that, looked to me that he was struggling for traction...but then most people seemed be be slow there.Quote:

No Mattias Ekström at Estering RX then. If he would be there surely they wouldn't need to do a Facebook presentation. https://www.instagram.com/p/BKn8ZAEgkSk/
I assume this means that the Audi bosses likely have decided that Ekström is needed in the DTM race that weekend. They have the chance of getting double champions.
Both the DTM driver title and the World RallyX title but seems to have decided to cede the latter to Petter Solberg.
Damn that sucks. In many ways. If Petter narrowly wins and its down to this, that will piss him off. Hollow victory.
Just shows how important a 'Domestic' series is to the big bosses in Audi.....
Or how insignificant WorldRX really is ... :(Quote:
