Let's hope that they (city government) do not see it only as expenditure but that it will also generate revenue in the Lahi region.

It’s great that NORF try break out from the traditional format.

I would say this is more a break out from the modern format to traditional one ;)

Nothing personal, but I think that Stobart would love to pay for Sordo being on the Stobart car instead of Wilson's son

if PG Andersson is to believed there might not be any Stobart Ford team next season.

- Det låter som att Malcolm Wilson inte har något att komma med där. Han har inget klart med något andrateam, likt det man haft med Stobart, och då finns inget till mig. Men det är inget som är helt klart än, säger Andersson till eurosport.se

It sounds like malcom doesnt have anything to offer. Han havent managed to get a second team done and then there is nothing for me. But it is not 100% certain yet says PG to eurosport.se.

?? no car for Wilson next year? Has the 5 year plan ended this afternoon?

Fortunately for Wilson jr it seems apparent his dad is the only one calling the shots as far as who drives a Stobart car is concerned.

I don't get it, how does this kid not feel ashamed of himself and his non achievments ? Does he really believe he can win it one day ?

Also I see the Stobart semi has Wilson's car with his name painted on the trailer. Isn't it bringing them bad PR ?

Who wants to openly show that they support Wilson jr today ??

beats the s**t out of me.

Østberg is driving Fiesta "WRC" next year, he said that himself on TV. Said also that Henning Solberg will maybe join him.

A bit weird after Østberg has been using prodrive subarus for 6? years and helping them with development.
