We have to wait for official announcements I guess.
Who says they are both going to develop the new car? It is a known problem that there are not enough potential talents available nowadays. Better thing is to get them on board as early as possible and give them rally miles as much as possible.
How often are Italian and Spanish motorsport news accurate?Quote:

The Tour de Corse returns to WRC
du Valais will take Corsica's place in the ERC ..
The historic home of Rally France will be announced during the Rally of Monte Carlo to reintegrate into the WRC, after the refusal of the Region of Alsace, to continue contributing to hold the celebration to its neighbor Sebastien Loeb.
The classic rally of 10,000 bends hosted the French event until 2009 when it was played only by the French national.
In 2010 the island had no activity consecrated since 1956, being integrated in the two successive seasons to extinct IRC and since 2013 the European, that his replacement will race in the Rally du Valais Switzerland.

This is terrific news, but not unexpected entirely. Everyone knew once Loeb and his leotard left the WRC, the Alsace rally would be short lived.Quote:

Once somebody explains me where Tour de corse found those missing millions Eur to hold WRC round I will believe. Even this year it was quite close and that was only ERC. In this moment it is just hoax.
Nothing is confirmed yet...
#WRC @rallyargentina road program is out .. include San Luis SSS ! and 2 stages with more than 50kms (52 & 56kms) http://planetemarcus.com/saison-wrc/...rgentine-2015/
Very poor itinerary for spectators... Last 3 years it was one of the longest (+400km and once +500km) WRC events...
Hope the SSS will be the circuit used for Fia GT Series!
I'd like to reply to opinions that Kubica should drive in ERC next year and that a break from WRC was good for Tanak. Let's just look at Neuville and Tanak in 2012. Neuville had something like 6 or 7 crashes in WRC that year. He scored just 1 point more than Tanak. So it was quite similar season as Tanak had. Then compare what they achieved in next 2 years...
So, the best thing for Kubica IMO is another year in WRC. He got a lot of experience this year, and 2015 season could be totally different. I had also impression that if he had driven in Citroen, this season would have been much better for him. That team suited him better than M-Sport.
The potential to get more money for a World Championship versus a European Championship (any kind of event, not just rallying) is much, much higher. Potential spectators, exposure and prestige add up to a more attractive proposal.Quote:

Looks like Kubica will be using them.
So this Pirelli + Lotos which made impossible the deal between Kubica and PH Sport :confused:

Just some stupid social media PR gimmick
Stupid how? Teasing a new design is pretty standard in so many different arenas. The last now seven posts are all about it - getting people talking about M-Sport - hence it's worked. Lighten up!Quote:

Okey, it's all part of M-Sport's online marketing strategy and some seem to be hooked by it. Resembles the current online media outlets, where they split one solid story into several "news" with minimal content
Last years livery was quite stunning IMO.
Yep, I also liked Castrol livery very much
This is a good one.Quote:

In my opinion Ford/M-Sport livery problem is that they haven't managed to incorporate the different logos into the base design of the livery.
Boring , last year was much better
Very nice livery, i approve they can use it.
very nice in my opinion too, estonian flag colours:p...m-sport just tweeted they will reveal more pictures within hour.
