However, I also think the "Evans to M-Sport" thing we keep hearing is a bit silly.
Evans back to M-Sport is as poosible as any of the other rumours.
He best chance of a WDC (at Toyota) seems to have gone with Kalle is coming back for the next few seasons. Plus Toyota look to have lost the Manufacturers this season with him as the No1 driver.
They also still have Ogier who is often faster, Katsuta who wont be leaving and Pajari in the fold.
If it can be done financially Elfyn could well come home.
it looks like Latvala wants to compete in the historic rallies and travel less with wrc next year. part time team boss?

Well, all drivers were quite on low this season at Toyota. Rovanpera and Ogier - either they won or crash. Katsuta was fast but always crashed. Pajari wasn't nominated. So Evans was still the most consistent driver this year.
I think that Latvala is still quite young for taking that job. He could take something not so major to miss some events and being more at the wheel, because clearly he is still fast.
This sounds like the beginning of a elegant departure from the job rather than a more brutal sacking......Quote:

Fowler has a bit of media visibility but complicated to see him taking this job all the more with facing Hyundai’s new car.
A japanese doesn’t sound a good plan
Maybe Lindstrom who is there for a while.
Hirvonen and Hanninen are also there but more in coaching, reccing and testing roles.
Has anyone heard anything regarding the WRC promoter changing hands? It’s been 2 months now since they said it’s up for sale, was wondering if there’s anything new surrounding the matter.
My maths show the following average points per rally this season:Quote:
