This have a nice ring to it...
Hey can you ask him if I can have just my initials for maybe 12 Euros?Quote:

It would be first time those letter are on a car in WRC since last Group b event December '86
Let me know where to send it.
You have to bargain this personally :) But if you pay full, you know where you can stick your name into and it sure'd be going fast...Quote:

Depressing when another talented, young driver can't find a budget.......Quote:

Yes, it's good that he's trying - he's been super fast in the BRC in the DS3....and was quick before that in the Lancer. I just wish there were more seats around....
He is still fast with that lancer when looking at this year's stage times from NORF. You can't really drive that fast with a lancer, but nobody has remembered to tell that to the Nikara brothers :DQuote:

Has anyone read this? Poor co-driver may as well save his time writing the notes

Yeah sorry about that, I wasn't really sure when I read it.
So this was not an clue?? :)Quote:

:D
For anyone who is intrested in puting their names, photos etc on rally car!
Here you can find very interesting project Public Rally Team | Indiegogo
You can buy advertisement place and participate in team`s decision-making by 25$ for all 2013 rally season.
Lol! :D
Theoretically it is possible, like you are driving your road car... little faster ;)Quote:

Yes, story was in Autosport initially
M-Sport confirms it is building a Ford Fiesta R5 car - WRC news - AUTOSPORT.com
Weren't some of the headlines just a tiny clue?
Ofsted reports schoolgirls ‘getting easier’. More soon.
Edwina Currie reveals sex with John Major ‘not as exciting as you might think’. More soon.
April joke?
6 hours ago they also posted that Red Bull stopped the negotiations with the FIA. I think they just put up some stuff on their page in order to get publicity.
Maybe but behind this site is Pier Liberali and United Business that supports Molly Taylor this year and L.Rosseti for years.
This day is full of surprises. At least we know what Eurosport are capable of...
This is not completely joke. Also talks about merging IRC and ERC are back. We will see at the end of this week...Quote:

Rumours on another site that this may be the case. Not good, RedBull are the kings of marketing & promotion. Eurosport, well, you know what you will get; & delayed highlights due to overrunning snooker/tennis/bowls......Quote:

They don't make much of a priority out of WTCC, so why would they for WRC?Quote:

Absolutely!! I too love lots of sports, and Cycling in particular - but if you're a team in the WRC - you want guaranteed coverage. Unless they have another station, or can get interactive coverage; allowing a choice.Quote:

Did you follow the WRC on Eurosport during 1999? I'm still waiting for the televised live stage of that years rally Finland to start......Quote:
