I still don't get why they have to stretch it over 6 days. They could easily do it in 4 or even 3.Quote:

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/116034 I'm telling you, they want to shoot out the sport....
The bloke is clueless, and shouldn't be anywere near the WRC.

Yeah, they're completely right. This year was vineyards disaster, I agree. Even when the Rally was still going, I was quite concerned about the poor farmers. It was real mass vineyards destruction, especially Latvala's off. I'm noticing some disturbning tendency about this.Quote:

Ott is very fast without any doubt, but reallisticly I can't believe he can come in GB and with his very limited time in the car be as competitive as the other top guys. And especially with the DMAK's against Michelin's.Quote:

I'd love you to be right about this but realistically with the championship won by then Ogier and Latvala will be going so hard at each other that the rest won't see them until the champagne is spraying!Quote:

Prodrive building things without factory support again. Not sure what market they are aiming for, maybe just clubmans etc. South Africa?
Good I suppose they are still doing something in rallying:

Interesting, 2l Golf with WRC specs, hmm.
I am not happy with this work. Instead of doing regular rally cars for national and international championships, they are wasting time and money for "hybrids"...
What's the point of this :confused: :confused: Does not make any sense to me
Seems a private project, like the TMR GT-86 4WD for Akio Toyoda. I would like to think that Prodrive would be investigating the R-GT Cup – an Aston-Martin Vantage V8 GT3 would be most welcome.
Seems interesting, but I won't pass any judgement until we know what the end game is.
IIRC Prodrive only had 2 Vantage examples finished of the projected 4 when they folded the project, the one example I've seen at Brands and Goodwood just looks too heavy and unwieldy to seriously challenge a 997 or NissanQuote:

transverse 2 litre turbocharged engine with the 'big mumbo' sadev transverse transmission. Only one engine/ transmission for between 300hp for rally to 600hp for rallycross
What countries can run vehicles like this - US, Spain, Poland ... NZ, probably Australia, Barbados. UK - club events?
Does Tanner Foust want to make Gymkhana videos and do the Rally America series or the Australians who have the rally G2 VW Polos at present ?
Does this mean the WRC will go back to 2 Litres cars a.k.a. focus,i30,C4,impreza,golf,???
Of course not, just because Prodrive privately built a car like that?Quote:

The Golf Rally car built by Prodrive are used in the Chinese Rally Championships... this is merely an updated Body Shell as the new Golf has been updated.... !!
FACT
Looks like VW China need to do a Motorsport Association type driver talent search.
http://www.ewrc-results.com/final.php?e=6642 Have the results been better this year.
Didn't Prodrive close their China office a few years ago? An updated body shell usually has a few enhancements if Prodrive is involved.

No thanks - RallyGB organisers should tell them were to go, not try and help this 'Mickey Mouse' idea.
