Sanremo is a classic so he may start there because Ucci and the Abarths were going very well last year and Kopecky couldn't follow the pace so good. And maybe one gravel event like Cyprus especially with getting so much points there.Quote:

Loix (may not mess it up in Ypres) hasn't either on program but they'll implement them if they see he can win the title, Neuville has only Scotland on his program. What Hanninen will do is Skoda's call.Quote:

OK not double the points, but Scotland has a lot more points to offer for competitors then the other rallies, so saving budget for Scotand (and Cyprus) will be a smart move.Quote:

I’d hope that Nasser isn’t the main driver at VW. His CV doesn’t warrant being a No1 or No2 driver – he might be a good development driver, but he’s done nothing to suggest he’s a top driver. Looking at the Audi Sportscar effort – they don’t carry any passengers(or pay drivers) – they’re all very good drivers who have delivered when asked. I’d have thought the VW WRC effort would be run the same way.Quote:
