I quoted Mirek for the option to take a German driver or German talking driver, do u know faster guys? Gassner? Burkart? Herbold? I think no one is faster than Thierry, Gassner seems to have maybe some potential though. But otherwise there's nobody and I think u wouldn't like Riedemann either in that seat, or do u?Quote:

Neuville carries the belgian flag... the fact that he speaks german means S*** and has no value to them.
Who says I'm talking about being first or second driver. Would be too early anyways but a VW development deal would be good for him.
Who knew Ogier before he drove works C2 S1600? I'm sure You didn't. The fact we don't know suitable German driver doesn't mean they can't make some themselves. German junior programs work very well on circuit, motorbikes etc. There are 80 millions of them, so there must be someone to choose from.Quote:

To find a talent you need time and also you need a period to test him in lesser classes....there is no german who is tested yet so if VW needs one they need to wait and have a program for youngsters which works and that is something that needs more than 2 years...

Hirvonen drove the Ford factory team since the year 2003. The Finnish manager Timo Jouhki, however, denies the Italian data.
- And why until the Car-Sprint did not know these things? Pikkaisen I suspect that the thing would go about it, says Jouhki MTV3.
So, do you say directly, that the news is not true?
- Here's how it is, in principle, Jouhki says.
23-year-old Tänak is a double World Rally Champion in Estonia. He has toured the World Cup series, Ford's Super 2000 car, and SWRC-class, he is on the second. In early Tänak Ford did with the five-year contract, but he also denies rumors of fresh plant in the transition from the garage.
- I have not heard anything about it, says Tänak Estonian Postimees newspaper.
dont forget how long he´s around in rallyeing, its only his 4th season overall. the other guys have mutch more experience. and look what the other peugeot drivers show compared to neuville.Quote:

Big news.....
Carlos Sainz told Autosport VW is interested in Ogier, Apparently they already made an offer to him. Carlos also says he knows Ogier is still contracted to Citroen but they hope to have him in the future because he is "fast and young".
