Andersson conceded on Rally Sweden that he doesn’t have the full budget to enter any more WRC rallies this season.

---

According to this though we may not see PGA this season.

Its published the 19th february, today is the 24th. Things happends fast in this game.

Whatever, if gets to drive Finland its ok for mee

JM Racing could opt for the original idea of the World Cup S2000, sign for 7 rallies and change the driver every rally. Hopefully can can stil count the Swedisch rally win, to add with their planned 6 rallies with PG (Portugal, Finland, France and Wales) plus a special guest in Japan.
IF JM Racing is entering the World Cup, can PG Andersson score drivers points for the S-WRC?

Doesn't it say that we wont see PG in a WRC car this season? I'm quite sure we'll see him in a Super2000 car...

Moving Rallye De France to Alsace is a mistake, having Rallye d'Italia start in Roma and shipping everything to Sardegna is an even bigger mistake. I really despair.

Amen! Not just because it's my home rally but because everytime I have been there I get reminded how good NZ is for rallying roads, drivers favourite for a good reason. Backdrop is spectacular but even better in real life.

Mr Quesnel if you cut rallies like NZ from the calendar in favour of Abu Dhabi and Jordan your a very misguided little man.
What makes him think Australians as opposed to New Zealanders actually want to own one of his sh!tron crapboxes?

I say... get the manufactorers out of wrc. We don't need the manufactorers to develop rally cars.

With rules based on modifications of production cars. Much like GroupN or even s2000. Manus can compete in making the best production car base for rally. Then Prodrive, MSD, Ralliart, TMR, Pipo and the likes will do the job.This will get the costs down too.

In future we might be able to follow the WRC as a Virtual Spectator, of course in realtime!

iOpener CEO Andy Lürling added, "Together we aim to configure North One Sport's systems and iOpener's patented technology to capture high accuracy live action GPS which can then be integrated into the next generation of WRC video games. These games will allow fans to drive, co-drive, manage or simply watch the WRC from the heart of the action."

I think I heard this story before, a month ago or so. In any case, not a priority if you ask me.

Compared to live stages from IRC, this Virtual Spectator thing is like (excuse me) choosing between rubberwoman and ... :D

Read somewhere that Subaru is planning a return with Tommi Makinen Racing..and possibly backed by Marlboro...This is not the first time I read it. I know some parts of the Prodrive-Impreza engine came from cosworth..and now in Uk there will be a cosworth version of the STI. Is it only me or is there a new team in the making: cosworth, makinen and Sti-subaru.
