Considering Suninen skips Tour de Corse and Deutschland, those are probably for Eric Camilli? Maybe he's going for a similar program as Suninen did in 2017, WRC2 with two strongest rallies in WRC.

He had a long break. But he was driving Tuscan Rewind in November last year.Quote:

Sounds like Østberg! Or will it be Henning again on the start list? :PQuote:

Me too. Can't believe anybody misses him.Quote:

The new cars are waisted on Bertelli and the Sheikh. Especially with guys like Østberg and Tidemand out there.Quote:

If these wealthy guys were only allowed to drive 2016 or R5 cars,
1. They wouldn't pay good money into the Teams
2. They would look crap compared to 2017's and
3. They wouldn't bother
At the end of the day they are hooning around for a goof and that makes the whole sport look silly.
If that's all they were doing they could do so much more easily and cheaply than in a 2017 WRC...Quote:

Very happy for Bouffier, best of luck to him on the events!
Patrick Bernardini throwback livery. Nice.
His chicken dealer also got a new logo ;-)
Is that Bouffier livery real or just a guess?
And is TdC confirmed also?
Edit: Nevermind I just read the source.
Yes, from his Facebook page:
What a good news insn't it ?
Never i had imagined i would drive a so good car, even in my dreams, and i get the opportunity to do both Monte Carlo and Corsica with M-Sport.
It is just amazing !!!
Great challenge ahead.
MS-RT logo still bigger than Ford on the rear of Bouffier's car. FordPerformance replaces Ford Ecoboost on the sunstrip. A sign of what's to come...
It`s Bouffiers car, no conclusions can be made based on this livery.
Great news indeed. Hands down for those rallies they couldn't really have found anyone more capable anyway. Good to see these kinds of faces, it keeps everything more interesting and exciting. As if we didn't have enough things to look forward to next season anyway :)Quote:

Offcorse, this news was in the line of what was comming up but the one and only real confirmation about this was yesterday. So please, do yourself a favor and stop here before you make things worse for yourself.Quote:

The word of one forum member did not 'confirm' Tanak to Toyota, so it was still a rumour.
@Jacko who asked you ? PLuto can speak for himself and I respect his opinion.
Clearly people on this forum know more than others and some are also better at picking out who they are than others. Why do you do this to us, just stop, there is no more to argue.Quote:

Whatever... the Bouffier confirmation I heard was proven correct.
Anyway, here's a great podcast interview with Malcolm Wilson & Elfyn Evans on 2017 and the new season.
