I am sure Michele Mouton agrees with the sentiments in some posts here. Also, frustrating that quotes shows up from ignored users.
I am not sure she will be backed by Red Bull...Quote:

So from a sponsorship point of view, a talented girl that matches her boy competitors, is a possibility to attract a totally different type of sponsors for a team.
So I support the FIA initiative to attract more girls to start with motorsport. It is always important to have many that starts to find some real talent. Not sure how much the national ASNs do activly wuth this?
I can understand that the few girls that have reached a certain national level, gets tired of always being the only girl. The social part is also important.
I am so old that I remember Michele Mouton driving the quattro, and there has been few in the rallytop since her.
The owner of G. car sport seems to be Tamaras father, afaik Red Bull stopped suporting her, so obviously money is not the problem...
Possibility Scandola start in 2/3 events
in French forum there is a photo with redbull colors for her fiesta.Not a real photo,but these photos who show the upcoming livery.Quote:

Maybe Craig Breen will teach her a few tricks? ;) They were competing together in Monza Rally Show last year.

RB seems to be their athletes sponsor, not M-Sport Ford WRT. Greensmith and Bouffier don`t have anything RB related on their liverys.Quote:

Guys, stop thinking about M-Sport, BRR, Skoda and Ford. The true is that she is not that good and nobody would put money in her except RedBull. She has value only for RedBull, because she is young and girl and that is what RedBull needs. OR maybe Monster energy, but that would be quite plot twist.
Unless she is paying for it herself...

She is just RC2/R5 competitor, NOT WRC2 driver.
if she starts with R5 I´m happy, does´t matter who is paying.
They are in a relationship.Quote:

It’s great to have Molinaro on the WRC, despite her jump to a R5 may look risky. Mouton was ever on a class of her own and ready to be at the WRC since day 1. Aitken Walker, De Martini or Holderier were also proven drivers before entering WRC. Still, they all managed to improve during their WRC seasons. Hopefully, so will Tamara; fingers crossed for her!
Guillaume De Mevius, Belgian national team driver, will compete in 3 WRC2 rounds: Monte Carlo, Corsica and Germany
Not gravel round?
Nope though in the 208 cup in France his better results were on gravel..Quote:

Multiple APRC Champion, Guarav Gill to join 2018 WRC2 in a Skoda according to this Indian webzine. It is not actually his WRC debut as he drove a few rounds in PWRC back in around 2009, IIRC.
http://indiainf1.com/wrc/gill-to-dri...eserved-break/
He has been very good over the years on APRC territory, beating Lappi and Veiby to the title. Will be interesting to see what he can do.Quote:

Not on pure speed though, mostly bad luck with technical problems for the others.Quote:
