Because Ford and Citroen were the only teams until recently :laugh:
Exactly.
Paddon has a few 'NZ road show' dates listed on his facebook so he is keeping his 'brand' out in the public domain.

I'm a little uncertain about Sordo going to Citroen.
Hirvonen went from a Ford to a Citroen and didn't do well all of a sudden.
Would the same be true for Sordo going to Ford?
I'm pretty certain Ford will take Mikko (I would do it if I was Malcolm).
I suppose its a matter of who will bring it to the finish vs. who could potentially win rallies for both Citroen and Ford. Citroen may be the only team with drivers who have not won, or at max have won 1 wrc rally.
In either car sordo wouldl still be mediocre on gravel and quick on tarmac- doubt we will be seeing him on any more than a handful of rallies anyway.
I think ford is an easy car to adopt. Most people who go to ford keep there previous speeds. But out of ford they struggle

Juho & Dani will share car number 2 during the season. Sordo starts in Monte.

Just your thoughts or fact?
I heard it should be officially announced in Monday :rolleyes:
So long as Sordo just does the tarmac rounds and Hanninen does all the loose surface events I think that could be a good pair of drivers for car No. 2.
I think we're getting most of the jigsaw together, maybe:
Hyundai- Neuville, Hanninen and Sordo
M-Sport - Hirvonen, Ostberg (?), Nasser/Evans, Novikov/cheque book driver
Citroen - Meeke, Kubica (?), and Al-Qassimi/+guest driver
VW - as before
Citroen must hire a better standard driver than that.Quote:

Duval or Loix to Citroën
LOL surely matton wouldn't :D ?Quote:

Does anybody know last years drivers salaries?
Why are you so curious about private matters? :confused:Quote:

Ostberg should only be a #2 driver at best imo, and citroen shouldn't go anywhere near duval despite their obvious lack of options.Quote:

LOL... its true though.Quote:

psst..it is a well kept secret;)
Why most of you think that one driver with 30's are older? Rally is not football.
All of you are missing the old rally times, but, if in those times, rally was for Men. The support categories exists for some reason. Loix still fast f.e.
The problem was not his driving but his attitude.Quote:

N.O.T. might have sounded rough or arrogant but why the hell does he need to know driver's salaries? Drivers are not paid from public money. It's a matter of private agreement between two parties if one drives for free, gets billion or pays billion. It's their private thing.
i want to know about their hair products and their boyfriends... salaries are sooo last year.Quote:
