Really? Ex-champ, who's turning 45 quite soon, would come and destroy the career of 4-time championship runner-up who has just made a new 3-year deal with the team? Wouldn't that sound a bit odd?

Loeb joining Hyundai (if rumors are true L'equipe is not very trustworthy) should have no impact on Neuville , because it is only for selected events.

Well I expect Otago will be in a Mk2 Escort again anyway!

With which car ?

I don´t think Polo is available for him.
