It will be too good to hope for equal equipement and treatment for the privateers.

Citroen wants too much money for DS3 ;)

What about Prokop in a Fiesta WRC? That was the plan at the start of this season. http://www.rallybuzz.com/martin-prokop-ford-fiesta-wrc/

10th is test car

Dennis Kuiper could better stick to the Fiesta S2000 and do the SWRC in 2011, get some experience (and succes) before joining the big league.
Munchi's Ford /Frederico Villagra want to buy at least 1 Fiesta WRC, and they seek budget for a second car.

BP FORD ABU DHABI WRT
Hirvonen - Latvala - Al Qassimi

STOBART FORD
Wilson - Novikov(?) - H Solberg

MUNCHI'S FORD
Villagra

MONSTER FORD
Block (all season long)

FCACA
Ketomaa

Jari Ketomaa wil do the Rally of Lebanon (Middle East rally championship) (17-19 september). Maybe as a practise for the tarmac SWRC rounds

Is WRC programmes on Dave changing? There was a passing mention on totalrally about big changes, including a presenter change? Anymore details?

From 2011, North One and FIA will offer a LIVE tv stage on each rally of the season.

I think it's a great news for the media exposure, we're going to the right direction. Also in Italy, although there is not an italian Manufacturer or driver, there are highlights (1h) in a free-to-air channel (RAI Sport 1) and sometimes few live-tv stages.

Great job, North One Sport!

Too late. Last week I was watching one document, where David Richards was promising live TV stage almost ten years ago...

Dave Richards was almost destroying rallying, with smaller and smaller routes, unique central service, etc.
