VW could copy Subaru and hire some older drivers. Vatanen and Alen were both Subaru regulars in the early nineties as Colin McRae was building up his name.

I don't know, please enlighten me. All I know is that Citroen was pretty amazed of what Petter and FX did to the c4 last year... And Atko faster than Petter is just an urban legend, look up the stats...Quote:

Atko hasn`t been in the sport for some time now, unlike Petter. If Atko want`s a seat, he has to start all over again.
all i know is that i never have heard from a driver that messed up his setup so mutch that he stop´s driving and retires from a rallye. also you can clearly see here, that atkinson was better in 2008 then solberg: http://www.ewrc-results.com/season.php?season=2008§ion=1&category=0#bodovaniQuote:

please dont take it as offense, im not a fan of solberg and not a fan of atkinson too, but you could clearly see that atkinson was better in 2008.
also it´s not really true that atkinson has no driving experience anymore, he´s doing some rallyes with the proton. but of course he wont be at the same pace as in 2008 i guess.
On the one hand VW said in Motorsport News this week that they are only considering people from IRC or sWRC for their Fabia drives and that there was "no-one" from Britain to consider, and then on the other hand they are looking at people like Lindroos, Riedemann, Gilmour. Doesn't seem to be a great deal of consistency there.Quote:

I guess Petter, Hanninen and Mikkelsen are three of the six.
Atko was seen at Ford in Finland. Maybe only as ordinary guest or maybe anything else...?
I honestly think Atkinson would be a good choice.Quote:
