I thought the same thing, rallying and F1 crossover is a fairly hot topic, for obvious reasons at the moment.Quote:

Sounds promising that they will stay in WRC..

Interesting points on the cost of aero pieces - I guess we all saw that coming. Also confirmation that M-sport funded Ogier, not Wilson 'from his own pocket' like a few said on here.Quote:

I think the rule-makers have some serious head-scratching to do, so the new regs are defined ASAP and, ultimately, cost effective, without losing the spectacle.... And on top of this, they are probably going to give serious consideration to electric too.
As I have said before, this may look all rosey, but it's a critical time for the WRC right now and I hope to hell they get the next set of regs right.
Keep at it Malcolm, the series wouldn't be the same without you.
The sides are ok (ish - could be tidier) but, the front and rear are too 'busy'... I know it's opinions and all that, but it still surprises me that some of the top-spec cars don't look as well finished as some further down the pecking order.Quote:

Suninen is in for the full season and it seems like it'll be one of Breen or Evans for the 2nd seat. 4 full seasons in the WRC vs no full seasons for Breen has to count against Evans, so I'd choose Breen. And maybe Craig can find a little bit of money too, he's always managed to find some budget when in need. But maybe Wilson will want to remain loyal and give Evans one last, last chance.
In his words again:
"I wouldn't swap those two years for anything, but I can't continue [like that]," he says.
I, not we.
Maybe we get Bouffier in MC, Tidemand in SWE, etc etc etc
He means I as in I, the owner of M-sport... come on.Quote:

I would love to see Evans have a crack at it again, but my gut tells me that Breen is probably the better bet of the two... especially given the reputation the Citroen had for being as bad as it was (is).Quote:
