Is that Hyundai WRC just for good looking picture, or..... first private Hyundai WRC team? O_oQuote:

Like it says on the bottom line: five step development program. Something they sell for young drivers.
I thought it would be something with Kristofferson and/or Solberg.
Yup.Quote:

French (well, Corsican in fact) newspaper announces that Corsica won't be part of the calendar next year. Kenya should take place in march/april, and Japan in november.

Oh, yep. Have an association from past days as it was gravel event. But Corsica was good event, shame :/Quote:

I think I saw on Motorsport Monday that Australia will run at the end of August.Quote:

According to L'Equipe :
- still 14 events next year
- Turkey not sure to be part of the calendar
- only 8 events in Europe, instead of 10 for now
- principle of alternance between "some" european events (no Corsica or Germany in 2020)
Listening to Malcolm it sounds bleak for Evans. Germany looking unlikely and possibly Turkey too
It doesn't sound optimistic. Hopefully it's just too cautious for the current championship state than anything else.Quote:

Better than GreensmithQuote:

Quite a lot of "rumors" from Porter about Camilli starting a rally with WRC car. Would work in Germany imo.
He tested the C3 at last month's PET, I keep m'y fingers crossed.Quote:

I think Malcolm elluded on allive to seeing how Greensmith gets on in Finland. He was quite good in a dry Monte earlier this year, different kettle of fish I know but must show some potential on tarmac.
Would they perhaps call on Bouffier, is he not a bit of a tarmac specialist?
I was thinking Camilli to step in for Evans yes, don't see why Citroen would put in another car tbh. Much more likely than Bouffier imo.
He certainly didn’t yes when asked directly whether Paddon could run in place of Evans in Germany....but he didn’t say no either.Quote:

Ironically, if Evans injury had come about before Paddon put a commercial deal for Finland together, I suspect he may have had a good chance of the ‘free’ seat that Greensmith ended up with.
Breen has no contract with Hyundai. He'd be a perfect replacement. Won't happen but he is best qualified to be competitive there

Ostberg in studio seemed confident with "I'm having meetings" "to help some team to win factory title". (edit: for 2020)
My prediction - Toyota - they need some points scorer.
Others:
Citroen - why to travel to Finland to have this kind of meeting with your current team
M-Sport - do they put their priority to factory title?
Hyundai - have already big list of drivers.
