I'll believe it when they're on the start line of their first WRC stage. Until then, no chance!!

The entrant list of Block, Patrana, Millen, Mirra, L'Estage, Richard, Higgins, Foust, Pinker, Iorio, Comrie-Picard, Verdier, Bacon and even Kenny Bartram and Brian Deegan would be a ripper!

This might sound exciting but I don't see them competing in the top 5 specially with Loeb, Ogier, Latvala, Hirvonen, Solberg. Possibly beating Wilson of course but they will have their own group down the leader board...

It wasn't that long ago that things didn't look so good for the World Rally Championship. Automakers were dropping out of the series like so many flies, while other manufacturers were heading to the rival Intercontinental Rally Challenge. But things have turned around for the WRC. :D

And front page news story in Motorsport News published in UK wednesday 25th May says NISSAN to consider WRC as part of an initiative to re-enter motorsport at a high level. This is likely to be run in conjunction with RedBullRacing (RBR F1 team in Milton Keynes).It is admitted that a touring car project is also under consideration. They could enter in 2012 but will be a NISSAN funded but sub contracted out to a specialist motorsport company (RBR) like Mini Prodrive rather than the new VW works effort. Something tied up with RBR's deal with Infineon.

Renault in disguise...
