Administrator's report is the latest addition here: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/c...filing-history Creditors on page 27.
Thanks to 'pear' on the British Rally forum who posted this news there.
What a shame... They had seemed to have been making progress for a while, but I'd always wondered where all their sponsorship money came from.Quote:

Latvala and Jouhki pondering JML's season and his future in WRC. Latvala admits hitting the low point in Corsica, where he was "lacking motivation" (I just hate to see that excuse being used by a full-time rally driver). JML says that the tight fight in manu championship is what brings him motivation at the moment. Regarding next season, Jouhki says that it's "impossible to know what the Japanese think at the moment", but admits Latvala must start delivering results from Finland onwards.
For me all these things combined don't sound like a receipe for success for Latvala. Hopefully he proves me wrong in Finland.
Last year he had a very good second half from Finland onwards, maybe this time too.
but i personally think if he underperforms in Finland, then maybe its goodbye for him.
In the absolute rally podcast last week he sounded like a broken man (well he does that like every 2 months..). Saying how he could have fought for drivers championship in 2014 if he didn't crash in Germany and how he enjoys historic rallies much more cause on normal rallies there is so much pressure and competition.Quote:

That said there can always be surprises from other teams. Last year nobody really expected Østberg to be that fast in C3. Similarly nobody expected Fiestas to be so fast on Corsica this year.

Other than that I'm not sure what options he'd have.
If Citroen gets 3rd car they will want a stable points scorer, Evans or even Østberg sound more likely, or Mikkelsen if he wants to go that way.
Basically same for Hyundai except Østberg is not likely there.
he will sell some seats
It'd be cool if you could link that, but judging by his own comments and the fact he's relying on the unpredictable Japanese to keep him on for the PR it sounds likely :(Quote:
