[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

no splits for Ogier again.

yes but there is a very long way to go.

There is a story today in www.MotorsportMonday.com about Hankook's reasons for coming into the World Championship, hinting that they are looking for a team to work with, to get experience of the WRC. Does anyone know who they are considering? The story says they plan to start in Portugal. The story also says that the Monte Carlo entry for Gamba was a happy misunderstanding!

If it will be Aaron Burkart, should not be with a WRC car. Motorsport Monday article talks in preference of WRC-2 car. In addition, there are 15 WRC cars entered in the Rally of Portugal and Burkart isn't one of them.

Is Burkart entered in Portugal at all?

And also, is Chardonnet entered in the promised Citroen R5?

...And when do entries close?

Autosport report that Toyota started testing their WRCar, but that it probably won't debut until 2016. Or 2017 when the "new rules" come. What are these new rules?
