Ott Tanak is the only real hot youngster. For Citroen he would be too young, to replace Loeb if/WHEN he leaves Citroen at the end of this year, he would be perfect for VW. I expect Dani Sordo to be back to Citroen, to become the new Citroen tarmac king, and Nasser Al Attiyah to promote to the Prodrive/BMW factory team.
So will this project completely kill the Skoda project? It would be a real pitty, they have been really succesfull. Is it not possible that VW provides their 1.6T to put into the Skoda S2000?
Which one?? I doubt it's either of them. Francois or Loic.........Quote:

My guess is Audi concentrates on DTM leaving LeMans series to Porsche, I wonder if however it ends up like this, V6 Turbo in F1, common sense would badge that as Porsche but could be SEAT, Audi in DTM, VW in WRC, Skoda in WTCC?
The search for a young driver could also be made in such way that a tarmac driver compete with a gravel driver on gravel and vice versa and then compare their mutual performance. Even better if there where two tarmac and to gravel drivers in every event.
The disadvantage with this system is however that it doesn’t tell the potential of a driver’s learning curve on for the driver not so familiar surface.
