Nasser Al Attiyah has definitly broke with RGRS because he thinks the team is not professional enough. According to German sites, also teammanger Jack de Keijzer, well known on this forum, has left the team. VW Motorsport is working on a sollution to keep Al Attiyah within the VW group and in a Skoda Fabia S2000.

Juho Hänninen will drive a BRR-run Fabia S2000 in Rally Finland. He will also take part on the next WRC round in Portugal, as we know already.
