If he changed his name to Meekanin and lived in Jyvaskyla for a while.. Tomi might actually grow to like him.Quote:

If there was actually anyone in WRC with any paid seats going spare then they certainly ought to be looking at IRC ahead of pWRC or jWRC, don't you think?Quote:

He would not dare drive a Super 2000 car, he would be thumped. Super 2000, in whatever form it takes, will be the best thing to happen WRC in a decade.
As far as i know he is not paying anything to Wilson anymore, he is a paid driver, but earlier his sponsors did, same like Sainz and many others before him.Quote:

Have you thought about the possibility that Latvala payed xxxxxx EUR for his first years in Ford and if the results were above level x then he gets free place in Ford team from the date xx.xx.20xx? And if not then team has to pay something for him:-) And Wilson does not want to pay and he hopes that Latvala still improves.
Put Latvala in Super 2000 Cup, and teach him how to drive properly.Quote:

Don't see much wrong with that, other than damaged pride.
