OK. Taken. But when not counting PG (and Meeke maybe) then you have Sandell... ;)

Meeke is in 'cos DR wanted somebody with english accent..

Rubbish, Richards wanted the best man available for the seat and that's who he got. Oh, and Meeke is not English and therefore, surprisingly, he does not have an English accent.

I agree Kris Meeke has busted his balls for years and I have followed him. He won the IRC championship fair and square last year and deserves this chance.
Citreon and Oliver what ever his name is are messing him about, saying if he was french bla bla bla he would get a seat. He has developed the C4 and Ds3 its about time the guy from Gods country got a chance...Give him a break

Meeke is a good choice..he has a solid fan base, he drives fast everywhere and always goes flat out and crashes. Him and PG are a good choice froma fan perspective, from a team with high expectation i have my doubts.

The ideal, at least for next year, is that Gronholm, meeke and Pg alternate between events and whoever manages to beat Gronholm constantly gets the seat full time in 2012.

Thank you for putting this into the light, Barries. Your posts are always very acurate and serious.

Accurate? how has Kris Meeke got and English accent? he is from Dunngannpon Co Tyrone, try looking up his website. he has a Northern Irish one big difference.

I also seem to remember another driver under DR who crashed quite a lot and he turned into a world Champion

I don't have anything against Meeke.. My favorite driver was C.McRae and if Meeke was his potential then I'm happy.. But how much competetive km's does he have in WRC car? I remember Prodrive WRC in 2005 GB and after that?

He has about the same competitive KM in a 1.6T "S2000" car as anyone else...
