Nasser is hoping to drive a works Fabia on IRC Sardinia next month but I don't think that is a solution for WRC events. BRR maybe (like Hanninen uses in Portugal and Finland)Quote:

Previously Tapper have driven 1400 Rally Trophy and V1600 cars. He will contest in Rally Tallinn with Fiesta R2.
http://www.rally.gr has 2 interesting rumours
first they talk about BP leaving ford due to the disaster in the mexico gulf...and then they report that toyota are in search for a new motorsport after F1 and their WRC is within their plans among others...
BP and Abu Dhabi are Ford's main sponsors. Does anyone have idea what's their balance, which brings in more money?Quote:
