DIDN'T THE F.I.A. intend make the WRC cheaper?
Even with that they do not succeed apparently.
There are yet already rumours that we will not see in 2011 the world 1600T Sport engine!
Citroën test the DS3 WRC with the 2-liter engine from the WRC C4!
Ford is also already intrested to go on in 2011 and use the engines from the Focus in the Fiesta S2000.
Also there is already a discussion to continue with current WRCs cars in 2011 and change just to S1600T afterwards!

Keep on to laugh with the F.I.A! :D

Believe it or not, Latvala will drive it in Sweden.

He will probably destroy it again. :uhoh:

I find it hard to belive though.

I´ve read in the link he will attend the greek championship with Mitsu. Any news about his rivals in greek championship? Has any other greek driver plans to run abroad? Thnx in advance :)

@morganmilan: The situation in Greece is also bad, due to the economic crisis...I don't think that many drivers will do all the championship and we don't expect many entries this year...No news yet for any more entries though...However, we expect one or more S2000's this year (not Kaltsounis's one) in Greece. Also, it was heard that Papadimitriou will run in some gravel rallies in Italy, but no more news about that...

Thnx Tolis. So I guess no Corsa S2000 this year in Greece. It´s a pity that car was not developed enough...

Sorry, my fault...I think that Kaltsounis may again run in 2-3 rallies in Greece with the Corsa... (I meant except for Kaltsounis's car). ;)

Bruno Magalhães has been invited to test with Kris Meeke in France, on gravel roads.

The test will be held close to Narbonne.
