Solberg on 50-50 decision re 2024 M-Sport Rally1 drive, plus his mental health after Hyundai ...

He saw a psychologist for 30 minutes... That's... wrong. He had no issues if that's what helped him.Quote:

Probably having to drop Monster as a sponsor played the most significant part in that decision by Oliver. And the part that Petter left M Sport twice not in the best terms...

It appears that 2023 JWRC Champion Will Creighton is to he the only MSport supported entry the WRC2 this season
News just out confirms they will support Jon Armstrong this season but in the ERC with a Fiesta Rally2.
Great start to 2024, Gus !

quick doubt: is this "citroen team" in wrc a "factory" team? i know its a team from belgium, but i dont understand if it is actual citroen behind them, like in motocross where kimi raikkonen's team is literally the european kawasaki factory team
With Citroen and DG Sport it is same like with Skoda and Toksport or Hyundai with CHL.Quote:

I think it's more politics.Quote:

Pepe Lopez will race in other team and with other Rally2 model.

Really waiting for rally Portugal to see Meeke's pace! Oliver will have proper challenge.. as Meeke smashed others.. yes, had puncture.. but still DOMINATED :D
First leg he will be thinking in Portuguese championship. Then he can go for WRC2.
Didn't Meeke crash yesterday? Won't help dominating if he crash.Quote:

This is a rumours thread.
Yes, it's the official Citroen team. Both Rossel and Gryazin are supported by the factory. You can see their press releases on the offcial website of Stellantis - the owner of Citroen brand:Quote:

Wow, impressive work really by the team and Meeke. As I gather some slight advantage with the tyres, is that true? But then you also have offical Hyundai team recognizing their rally2 car is lacking.Quote:

Ruben Rodrigues seemed to have the measure of Armindo until that puncture in SS4, but other than that, nobody in the national championship seemed to be making any inroads.
Even if Meeke wins the championship (which of course he will) he won't be the champion (yes, that is correct!)Quote:

In short, having another driver in the team helps.
Virves, the 2022 JWRC Champion, has revealed the livery for his car for Sardegna + plans to contest Rally Latvia and Poland.

Great to see him driving a competitive car this year!
Bulacia changed from Citroën C3 Rally2 / Sports & You to Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 / The Racing Factory.

Robert Blach in WRC with The Racing Factory Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 at Acropolis and Central Europe.
Looks like something went wrong with the updates on the Hyundai, i didn't even realise Suninen was there until he popped up with a decent time on one of the SSS.
Suninen (and Emil) is driving really old and slow version of the car. Need to change out of there fast, stuff like this wastes hell of a lot of money and time.Quote:

If i understand it right, they have their own development programm - how does it work with homologation, i am not sure. Though, I doubt that Paddon is so much faster than Sunninen (but he is still fast, pitty we lost him from WRC).Quote:
