And Reeves is doing just fine for himself in a left-hand drive car, so it makes no sense for him to be the person at the centre of the request.
Lol, Delecour doing nearly all round of ERC and targeting to be ERC champion!!!
That is awesome, im sure he will give an hard time to all the youngsters that will compete...
Oh no! that looks slow. They don't stand a chance against Citroen, Ford and VW.Quote:

e) the driver does not appear to be a professional rally driver
... Right?
And, they have no intention of competing until 2014....Quote:

I'd guess Catalyuna - it's a mix of gravel and tarmac, and it's not incredibly demanding like Wales.Quote:

They 'shelved the idea' because Ford and Citroen said no - or at least put down unacceptable conditions.Quote:

VW didn't do it because the other teams felt it was unfair to let them drive without homologation and "outside" the rally.
VW had longer development program with few months. First "real" test was 5-6 months after they launched it.Quote:

Benito Guerra to drive MINI with Motor Sport Italia in 2013
Kubica & Tanak official drivers of 2013 ERC M-Sport Campaign
Gigi, have you got a source? Or just following the WRR facebookpage?
That are just rumours... Nothing officially!
So they wrote it would be hydraulic gearshift system.
And you all laughed at me for suggesting a hydraulic system!
Not laughed but I said it's not necessary and sure not simplest solution.Quote:

Ott Tanak FB page: Lots of speculations this time of the year. Hopefully we will get some solid answers soon. New season in ERC will start in little more than 2 weeks and new season in WRC will start in then less than a month...Quote:
