As you indicated it may have had a bit of spin on the story by the journalist to put pressure on the sponsor to send the funds. Next step if all fails is to name the potential sponsor, who couldnt / wouldnt pay, but for that to happen all else would have failed as there will be no hope of keeping the sponsor then. Its not the first time sponsors have defaulted on money.

Ok thought this money would have had to have been paid before heading to the event.

Is sponsoring Henning and Matthew supposed to be some kind of irony?

M-Sport liveries look quite cool though.

Noticed Bouffier looks like a private entry rather than Peugeot Sport.

There is another energy drink sponsor who let down a driver but is back with them now, after lawyers pointed out the terms of the contract and actually fulfilling it is better than being sued.

I've got a feeling that Henning will be on the starting line ;)

Meanwhile, the teams’ test programmes in the Alps and Ardèche Mountains have provided a promising foretaste of the battles to come, although there have been reports of body damage (Hirvonen, Neuville) and offs (for Latvala, Solberg, Sordo, Van Merksteijn, Tänak).

Tomorrow morning (Tuesday), at eight o’clock, the first cars will begin the 3.58km shakedown stage

How can a brand called 'Go Fast' hire the ultimate 'Go slow' driver?

Still no sign of news on wrc.com. Hope after this that NOS s*um will disappear forever.
