Why? I think the car will be ready for Croatia.
Prodrive's press release for Corsica says the following: "Corsica also sees the launch of Drive-Pro & SMG Motorsport’s MINI drive packages for the IRC and WRC as well as national and regional championships. The factory built cars will also be engineered by Prodrive."
... which I guess means Mini must be registering soon.

I was talking with people from Eurosport on Canarias and they told me that negotiations between them and Prodrive are "running", so I expect it too.
Me too for sure after that Press Release.. Last year in Ypres IRC did like Snijers and his Mini didn't exist in the event..
Which was absolutely correct. If Prodrive wanted to be on Eurosport they could register like other manufacturers. No need for exceptions there.Quote:
