Prodrive Mini WRC

So, MINI registered for points in the manufacturers championship... How can that happen, if they'll take part in only 6 rounds this year?

I can't wait for the tarmac rounds (for once in ages) as I am hoping that Sordo can finally get one over Loeb. I personally think Loeb is one of the reasons the tarmac rounds have become boring.

You probably mean the rest being slower as the reason ;)

yes I do. I don't get why nobody has got close to him, tarmac does not have the same issues as gravel roads

Don't hold your breath!

They will probably tell Sordo to push it to find out how much time they are losing in each area of the stage and tell Meeke to take his car to the finish.

Do you think that Sordo will be ahead for most of the season? (+1 to the previous posts)

What do you mean by good driving position?.. High and SUV like? That can be nice on the motorways, comuting etc but very bad for centre of gravity.

You talk about looking forwards for the Tarmac rounds for Sordo because you hate seeing Loeb winning? I'd love to be able to share your optimism but I just cant see that car threatening either Citroen or Ford.

agree Zico this year all i would expect out of the Mini is perhaps the odd podium.
