The FIA is like politics, it is not interesting to them what the fans want, but if they make money is important.Quote:

I think they'll still have very consistent time-tracking and everything will be working well on wrc.com with splits etc, like it always did in the last 10 years.
Yes, but just like in politics, you always have people who complain about them, no matter what decisions they take. After some time people become prejudged and they think everything FIA does MUST be wrong...Quote:

I asked Ilka. She said: "It's so funny. But I do not even know Ostberg`s phone number!"Quote:

We will see who will compete in JWRC next year. After bad years with WRC Academy I know that lot of drivers, which were thinking about it, will move their plans to different championships...
It is written in article on Autosport posted above. It is in czech language, but I think you can read Peugeot, Citroën, Renault and Toyota...Quote:

If there are 5 events with S2000 in IRC cheaper than 6 non-complete events with R2 in WRCA, something is wrong...
Looks like Ford will be very Norwegian next year according to autosport and Nasser will do 7 WRC rallies.
So Citroen will be Finnish-Spanish...Quote:

So is it completely crazy to imagine Ostberg in a citroen next year? this thought just crossed my mind and i wanted to share it.

Ostberg would be a mistake in my view - if you're reading Matton, go for Sordo!
Mmmmh Mads Östberg in a DS3WRC would be interesting ;)
Ostberg should choose between Ford and Mini.. He would get better chanches there I guess.
Return of Citroen Norway?Quote:

Hirvoen (Citroen)
Sordo (Ford)
Ogier (VW)
Latvalla (VW)
I'd put 100 million metaphorical pounds on Ogier winning the title. The most complete driver since Loeb ;) haha
For Citroen favor would be Sordo(who will win tarmac rallies? Mikko?)
for Sordos favor would be Ford for reasons explained from alleskids
Sordo confirm it that he definitely leaving Prodrive, from his facebook profile:
Hello everyone! Well I already end the world. Today was a great day we did 4 best times of 6 sections! And the mini has behaved like a champion... But... also I am very sad to say goodbye to all my friends at Prodrive would like to thank these two difficult but beautiful years together! Top guys! And to my great little mini... To say... In the background will you miss and who knows if in future we again make war together...
Soon will know about my future at the moment just wait...
seems that Sordo-Citroen is done.Quote:
