[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

so Quensel gives a big compliment to Hirvonen. Mikko became so fast that Quensel took away all the toys of Loeb. No more circuit playing, just WRC rallying.

Whilst I think it's a shame that Loeb is not doing Le Mans, I can see Quesnel's point of view. When all the rumours about Loeb doing F1 arose, he did seem to lose focus - and let Mikko back into the Championship. This won't be allowed to happen again.
That's a pretty good line up for Peugeot though - still not totally convinced by Lamy.

Hate to say it, rallying for rally drivers and racing for racing drivers.

It was about time as well..

Seems NZ is going to be dumped because the dip****s who run things don't have a damn clue. My blood is boiling over hearing this.

Quesnel: "Finally, last year’s Le Mans winners Marc Gené and Alexander Wurz will be joined by Anthony Davidson. We had a number of options for this car, including Sébastien Loeb. He has reached a sufficiently high standard to be considered as a potential team member and we waited until the Swedish Rally before we took any decision. Every driver has to be 100 per cent committed to our programme and it eventually became clear that Sébastien’s schedule would be too tight. Anthony Davidson was available – he is quick, enthusiastic and very happy to be part of Team Peugeot Total. "

Suddenly after the Swedisch Rally Loeb's schedule became to tight to do Le Mans. What changed in the calender during the Swedisch rally, except for Hirvonens win? :)
