I think that this prove that going to WRC very young and unexperienced in a WRC car is not a good step. Now Aigner will finally learn the WRC. Did Wilosn do the same? Maybe with a Fiesta S1600.... It looks like the WRc start to be clean from the baby drivers..

I don't know from how started the ideia, but for instance the brakes were bigger and not allowed until then. FIA had to change regulations....

So it was pure rubbish the signature with Redbull ?? :confused:

This was a little bit expected. I have said all along that there is not enough sponsor money for both Bozian and Kronos to run a total of 4 cars. Bozian confirmed 2 days ago that they definitely will be an M2 team in 2007, which indicates that they have secured Stohl and his huge OMV sponsorship. Aigner and his Red Bull money is still up in the air, but I have a feeling that he will either end up alongside Stohl or perhaps in a Ford (non M2).

An now Pons and his possible sponsors are out of the running, things are not looking good for Kronos.

People is always thinking in terms of spending and I think it's bad and it's killing motorsport.

---

That history of being prestigious is a crap. Sometimes the people that work with economy had some strange minds. The important is to win, and the less moneys spent better. If you can be champion with 3000million Euros, why the hell you should spent 5000millions to have the same result? It's really dificult to understand.

But another rumour from belgian newspaper today says Stohl and OMV are back to Kronos !!! :eek:

Who's right then ??? :s

And if Stohl goes to Kronos I can't see Kronos not running in Monte-Carlo !! :mark:

When is Bozian officially announce its presence as M2 team ?? :confused:

Running cost of a S2000 car is more expensive than few years old WRC car. And also do not be fooled by Eurosport press release where they are first listing all their regional set ups: Eurosport 1 & 2, Eurosport Asia, Eurosport America and what ever there is AND then they say that there will be TV-coverage worth of 8 hours per event on Eurosport corporate level.

I agree with this mail from RonSkoda on http://www.rallye-info.com/forum.asp...&new=34&page=3

No Monte, Maybe becuase Kronos had given OMV a price on the basis they run 2 cars, as they were counting on Pons. Now no Pons, so price has gone up dramatically for OMV.

So who will drive for Bozian with a big sponsor in this case(if OMV/Stohl are back to Kronos) :confused:

I now see only one possibility - but exciting possibility :p : - Gigi Galli with Pirelli !!! :bounce:

Running costs of S2000 arent so dramaticly higher than older WRC cars. And cost of older WRC cars are lower because age of these cars.

And believe Eurosport. I have seen proposal time list for next year and there is much better TV coverage than WRC. And in prime time!
