Andreas Aigner didn't manage to find some his own sponsor for 2009 (it was RB condition not to pay everything). In 2010 he will start in Austrian championship with his own Evo X.
thanks Mirek Fric :) . I was wondering what happened. Like the P-WRChampions before him, most disappaer from the WRC scene.
Patrik Sandell is now confirmed in Skoda Fabia Super2000 with Red Bull Rally Team (Baumschlager...). Got the press release half an hour ago but haven't found the info on the internet, so check out my blog if you wanna know more.
Not sure if this has already been posted, but the official E3 trailer of Gran Turismo 5 shows some of their WRC cars:

Note that although the title says 'fanmade', all the content is from the official video, just all the non-WRC stuff has been cut out.
Here's a photo from another forum of a public GT5 demo showing Mikko's car (I think):

The Red Bull Rally Team will chase the title with Patrik Sandell (SWE)/Emil Axelsson (SWE) and Skoda.

I haven't seen much about Andersson neither in the WRC nor IRC rumours, as much as I have been reading them. Can anyone tell, what are his plans for 2010? Last year he had just merely one Sweden outing as well IIRC. It would be a shame if such a fast driver is left out in the cold.
Dunno if it has already ben mentioned but wrc.com reports Valentino Rossi looks set to join Kimmi for 2010 in Mexixo

"Then of course there's Kimi Raikkonen, who this year has traded in his Ferrari for a Citroen C4. Just how is a former F1 World Champion going to do in a rally car? We'll find out soon. And the chances are Kimi won't be the only world champion to succumb to the pull of rallying in 2010. Multiple MotoGP champ Valentino Rossi looks likely to join him at the WRC fiesta in Mexico. How cool is that?"
Andersson is looking budget for SWRC and at the moment he is named as a wild card entry for Sweden (PWRC). So, if he doesnt get anything else, then he is going to start in Sweden with his own Mitsu. No more info currently.Quote:
