Probably the best solution would be doing it like Hyundai, i.e. Camilli driving the same rallies as Sordo and Suninen matching Paddon. And for Suninen it would be good to do atleast Monte with R5 Fiesta in addition to all WRC outings.

RB story & video from M-Sport yesterday:

It has been said that Suninen does at least six events in a Fiesta and that the third car will probably be split between him and Camilli. Østberg is selling his car but could he continue with rented car from M-Sport, for a limited program?Quote:

Huge congrats for Mr. Wilson and all MSport staff. They totally deserve to keep Ogier and get a wider support from Ford. Still believing Ford announcement will happen any time soon; most likely, we’ll have a Ford/MSport World Rally Team entry since MC.
Btw, Ogier’s words about money not being the only issue on other teams discussions makes sense; he probably asked for changes in Citroen Racing structure and a number one status in Hyundai and Toyota cases...
Well everyone shit on Neuville, and when some say something about Ogi it's almost end of the world.. Well glad he sign for another year and fingers crossed for Nevuille to beat that smile over his face, like he was doing almost all year now..Quote:

It's test for a show event not for a true rally.

And all Barborka rally is basically slalom course, so normal stage won't be any better for get know car.Quote:
