Frequelin said that a 3rd driver would be good to remove Sordo from the pressure of having to score manufacturer points.
It sounds like someone else should do the finishes and bring the points while Sordo could go to explore the limits of his ability risking some offs as 3rd driver

Which brings us to the original point of third driver rule.

Hope it will happen. Maybe Guy Frequelin just wants to make sure of the 2 championships before he retires at the end of this season.

The way things are going at the moment, it's almost impossible for Citroen to get the manufacture championship title. So, 3rd driver makes perfect sense. How about Carlos back in the game? :)

Harri Rovanperä said at the end of 2006 that he was aiming a car for winning and nothing else for 2007(or so)...maybe an opportunity ??? :D

Yea, Harri could be a good opportunity.
But I think hes been out to long and the last year didnt go so well in the Skoda.
It would probably take some rallies to get his old speed back.

So I still think Garde is the best driver if they looking for someone to take safe points, he seems to be fast no matter what car he got.

While crash-happy Duval is busy eating his picnic lunch-supper-breakfast at roadside after his most recent car crumbling exercise, Ford kids are celebrating at podium. 41.7% DNF ratio speaks for itself.

He is good and has bright future, I think. But if Citroen wants the manu title back, Sordo is a gamble at the moment. Granted, on gravel Citroen can easily achieve 1-4 and Ford can fight back with 2-3 but that still gives one point advantage to Citroen. I see that this algorithm brings fight to Ford.

Galli wuld be too risky, probably very fast but risky. Gardemaister is mature but I am not sure if he has much more speed than Sordo. Probably he would be faster but Garde has not always been fast to adapt new cars.

Anyway, would be nice to see third C4 in action.
