Apparently six rally's for Loeb with Hyundai, three for sure are MC, SWE and Corsica, the other one's probably Chili, Wales and Spain

so he will drive MC with 5 days of rest after Dakar... nice, any other news your imaginary friend told you ?Quote:

From Loeb Twitter:
No more options were offered to me with PSA following their strategic choices. And I did not want to retire already! With this @DanosElena, we will bounce @HMSGOfficial back with as early as 2019 for a 6-course program @WRC for a new exciting challenge! #StayTuned
No smoke without fire.
You're pretty good at making yourself look like a complete dick, aren't you?Quote:

There are 14 rounds. Loeb will do 6. Sordo will do 8, starting with Mexico.Quote:

Excellent to have Seb there but WTF about Paddon and Mikkelsen? Sordo for one year with 8 rounds sounds desperate and no announcement about Paddon? Seriously they can't be giving Mikkelsen another full year????Quote:

crazy silly season indeed.
Very interesting to see his pace against Neuville.
The Frenchman will compete in six rounds of the championship in an i20 Coupe WRC alongside long-time co-driver Daniel Elena, starting at Rallye Monte-Carlo.Quote:

I suppose this is why it's called silly season!
Hat off to you sir... I lived in hope, but, alas.Quote:

I still wonder who are they going to send to Finland in the third car

Shame there aren't more seats around. Paddon, Breen, Evans, Ostberg, Tidemand, Kalle, Kopecky etc could all do a job in the top category. Then you've got the drivers like Camilli and Greensmith who are maybe looking to find a way in through bringing some budget too.
Still, can't complain too much as we've had the best two years in a long long time, intense battles in great cars, and to top it off silly season has been bonkers :D i never thought Loeb would drive anything other than a PSA car. Can't believe Citroen didn't find the extra few million to keep the relationship going, so I'm still thinking it's more to do with Ogier demanding Loeb did a full season or nothing at all - with no guest appearances.
You can read it directly from the source: https://motorsport.hyundai.com/wrc-l...uned-for-2019/Quote:

Is the Hyundai NZ program really that great? I would try to move on to MSport. Even though Malcom probably cannot come up with funds for Hayden. I'm sure he can still do his Hyundai program in NZ while driving for a different team.
That being said I'm super excited to see Loeb back. As some of us said it would be 6-8 events. There were talks of Hyundai entering 4 cars at some events, but that was from my source at Toyota. Its obvious Hyundai want to win at all all costs. I hope Loeb can help set up the car for Mikkelsens sake....
It doesn't say anything about Mikkelsen having a full season.Quote:

When they refer to Loeb and Sordo specifically as having part time drives, I think you have to be daft to not read that Mikkelsen and Neuville are not full time.
double negative means positive? :pQuote:

Is it possible that his car will be wrapped in Redbull colours? Or it will be just his clothes.
Mikkelsen is probably being given a last chance to show something good in first outings. Never-ever i believe, that with this lineup and his this years results he gets a full season.Quote:
