No he is not. You have to be born before 1th of January 1981. Broccoli was born in 1981 6th of April. I wrote it in another thread as well.Quote:

Was very impressed with the program. All the presenters were very good, Also they asked Mikko a question I sent in and read another one of my emails so I thank them! Look forward to next week.
Italian national television RAI bough the WRC tv-rights until 2012. They'll broadcast it probably on RaiSport+ :D
thats good it did go to RAIQuote:

Jari Matti Latvala gets no more free drive. The Finn must support its compatriot Mikko Hirvonenin in the future. :dozey:

No C4 for Conrad...hopefully be the last of him then.
In no way, this was desided a few months ago, he understand it well, and is ready to do his job like a professional for the team, yesterday it was an interview in tv about this. The speed lost etc. can have to do with lost confidence and things like that, there is still work to do to finish in top 3, its not going to be easy, Sordo and Ogier will be tough.Quote:

Did somebody put Conrad and competitive in the same sentence or do I need to go to Specsavers?!!
Why was Gigi putting together a programme to run a C4 when there weren't enough? Citroen haven't been randomly destroying cars over the winter so this should have been spotted surely. Massive waste of energy it seems.
Ok, thanks.Quote:

Agree on Sordo & Ogier, both are increasinly impressive. Hopefully there is some long time plan for JML to "get his mojo back"
They did interview Hirvonen too, he also will change his driving to more bold and arrogant, and he said also in 1 earlier interview that last season he hesitated too much with changing settings right away when he got some ideas, now he will risk more in that field too.Quote:

There is a story in Finnish media that North One Sport has given time to Automobile Club de Monaco till 17th of February to tell North One if they come back to WRC or not. This is said to be one time offer if they say no to WRC now doors are closed for good.
http://www.mtv3.fi/urheilu/ralli/uut...010/01/1045234
I think the Monte rally can easily do without WRC, were WRC and more over the WRC teams (Volkswagen, Citroen) demand a prestigues rally like Monte Carlo in the championship. Rallye Monte Carlo has more aces in their hand then WRC has in this poker game
From past experience, Automobile Club de Monaco does NOT respond well to deadlines or other pressure ... THEY are Rally Monte Carlo, THEY will decide what they want to do.... if WRC makes pressure, IRC will give them good conditions and welcome them with open arms (as they did the last 2 editions)Quote:

Personally its the same are they in or not.
There will be a extra entry to SWRC soon, he will drive Fiat Punto S2000 , more news this week
Gardemeister? Would be great to see.
a very bold move, as the Grande Punto was hardly a match for the Peugeot and the 2009 Skoda. Or has this new team made some improvements to the car? But is it a welcom new entry.
