Im not surprised ;)
But seriously speaking I think Subaru is the best place for Mikkelsen if he want soon to become a works driver, it's likely that from there comes the next avilable seat.

It smacks a bit of desperation that he would sacrifice winning rally’s, for the prestige of wearing works overalls.

Why not? I checked Manufacturer and Manufacturer Team rules and there is no limitation that I see.

Hm.. maybe they can, don’t tell Malcolm Wilson ;)
Seriously what would be the point with it? Use more money and compete with themselves for 3`rd place in Manufactures Championship?

I didn't say there would be any point, I merely noted that there doesn't appear to be limitations.

I would say that they want to become professional rally drivers, who get money from what they do, instead of bringing the money every year.

I believe what they seek is getting paid and not to have to pay.
