Clearly it wasn't confirmed given it's not true. Just a media assumption I'd guess?

Only two Fiesta R5 (Evans and Tempestini) against 7 Fabia R5.

Lappi obviously entered as a private driver. Bouffier under M Sport banner probably doesn´t mean something, we already had this in the past.

Kubica listed as the Entrant ... not his RK WRT, but not M-Sport either, unlike Bouffier...

I guess he will drive his private Fiesta. Motorsport Island wrote that he planned to drive DS3 WRC but it was too late with all this modification that he needs and FIA or something like that

Kubica's situations looks really weird
it looks like people involved in RK WRT are doing something else (guys from M-Sport, even his coordinator Rafal Cebula)
M-Sport claims they don't know anything about preparing car for RK
I thnik Monte Carlo may be single event for Kubica

Sure Bouffier receives servicing from M-Sport and has been entered by them a few times. But as far as I can see he's never scored points for them? Because that Monte entry has a 'T' next to it - as in M-Sport have also registered as a WRC Team, in addition to being a manufacturer.

I suppose so, too.

I wonder whether VW will pay for Lappi to do all the events in a Fabia R5 in preparation for 2016?

As somebody else mentioned I suspect Monte is with BRR, as Hänninen's WRC starts were with them when he was a works Skoda driver.

If he turns up on the Mexico entry list then I think that we can possibly make that assumption. For sure if he's going to be in a top WRC car in 2017 he has a lot of gaps to fill in his knowledge.

He didn't get far at all on the only other time he did the Monte. He's never been to Sweden. So a big year to learn, as well as having the pressure of being the WRC2 favourite (again).
