What a horrible accident. Just saw it on Youtube. Glad it's just his leg that's hurt. Hope he gets better soon.

Wilson, Duval and Clark would be the possible candidates for the rest of the season. Wilson is already a Stobart nominated driver for NZ, so one of the other two will be most likely, I reckon it will be Duval for NZ but who knows.

Henning Solberg will drive for the Munchi’s team’s in New Zealand, Spain and Japan. In the others my guess is Henning and Wilson, maybe Mikkelsen will get an offer for NZ and Japan?

No. But it's not obvious any standard of having Ford seat.

Contrary what few people said there is no evidence about team-orders in Ford. I would be rather surprised if they would execute team-order at so early point. Team-orders are possible but they are scarcely executed in the way that puts Duval's overall performance to look bad. Also Duval's interview had no hints to that direction.

At that point it seems that Dudu had little bit more speed with the old Xsara than with the Ford.

Yes, unbelievable. As I said earlier in this thread, they must go to Loeb and ask some of his luck...

Femurfractures are nasty because usually they lead to extensive bleeding and recovery is very slow :(

Meeke is having an inpressive pace :)

Or maybe this :)

Drop Latvala to stobart for rest of season and give Marcus an offer he can not refuse :D
