M-Sport has sold quite a few it appears...Block bought one in October, now this and somebody said Bertelli also ( i don``t believe that tbh). Anyway 2 Fiestas in the region, hopefully the other one has a go with someone also.

Ostber bought it then sell it to Tanak.
According to ewrc-results, Bertelli has now bought the Fiesta Ogier used from Monte to Argentina 2017.

Bertelli has chassis #2
Tänak #5
Tuohino #?
10x Fiesta WRC17 excist.
Östberg-Tänak`s car has been in private hands a long time now...Bertelli no.2 chassis was yesterday Block`s, according to ewrc...if i remember correctly. So the number of privatelly owned cars is 3 or 4.
Janne Tuohino bought fiesta??? remember him as a super quick driver. what about Block's car??

Technically OT Racing bought it from Mads and Georg Gross has driven it. OT=Ott TänakQuote:

As far as I remember Tuohino was only really competitive in Sweden and Finland.
He was quite decent in Sweden last year though in a Fabia R5.
Hirvonen had backings and Touhino hadn't. i remember that he let some of the works drivers in front of him (that was in Sweden I think)
Lets see what the future brings. “Munchi’s” styleQuote:

But hey, he's younger than Loeb, so who knows - maybe Tuohino is the next one on Hyundai's wishlist.Quote:

Loeb was the fastest on previous dakars as well but seems Dakar is his cryptonite.
There is always next year.

Loeb: "I'm not going to say never is never, but there you go, I've had enough."
The Dakar is awful, but then months later the challenge sucks you back in.
when you push hard you have electric problems .mistakes at organisation road book,and broken driveshafts?Quote:

Dakar is a long rally and anything can happen to any competitor at any time and he needed to be in a position to capitalize on that opportunity if it arose---in this case, being in 2nd place and as close to N. Al-Attiyah as possible.
plus it makes the rally more exciting too
actually at first stages he didnt pushed,but when problems appeared,he hadnt got to do something else but to push to regain the gap.Quote:

Thats rallying/racing.
Also we have to mention that he had old model peugeot and not the maxi peugeot from last year,which was a better/faster evolution

any ideas why he wasn't running the newer version?
Said in quite a few places, here also...
Organizers decide, who (privateers) can drive what evolution. Loeb was considered to be too good to have the best, so he wasn`t allowed.

Now I've seen everything...
[QUOTE=Tarmop;1204695]Said in quite a few places, here also...
Does that mean I'm not allowed to ask, if it's already been said somewhere?
You can, but i would search myself first and find the answer from the official topic, post no. 2.

Thanks for the guidance. I guess this rule of not asking questions, which there may already be an answer to, will apply to you too.Quote:
