Lol, funny man you
So, you really believe your guy and Ogier can change something that has been established for more than 30 years?Quote:

Did Malcolm Wilson steal your marbles when you were kids or something?
indeed his last 10 posts are quite funny. but time could probably heal.
Well I'm here for the fun of it, so why not be funny?
Why he signed MSport? No other choices, but MSport did have an good option in the car as well.Quote:

How is this possible right now?
Had all the components installed in the car not already been inspected and approved by the FIA?
So, are they allowed to fix it? Can they fix it, or this is disqualification for them?

It should not be possible, because the FIA was visiting Puuppola HQ and inspected all the things...Quote:

More than funny. He suddenly appear, express surprise that Ogier is in ford (= have clearly not followed rally news for a while) and then goes to hate on Msport in every single post including hilarious statements that Toyota and Msport are on equal level, something he couldn't possibly know.Quote:

Most likely there's nothing to worry about. Every time new rules come out some issues can happen during the initial scrutenizings, but they're usually solved up. It seems it's happening with Toyota but it could happen to any other manu, like it did in the past.Quote:

It would have created a mega weird situation if FIA would have contradicted themselves. Good that they interpret the rules the same between inspectors in the end (I work in an industry where this really doesn't happen so it isn't as impossible as you'd think).Quote:

They (ksml) deleted original story and itīs bit weird that new one is behind exactly same page adress...
FIA members visited TGR last week and everything was OK.
So, somebody decided to spice things up for Toyota? Just to remind them to forget the past? :)

Interview at Kubica in Montecarlo Service Park

WRC manufacturers meeting today to discuss allowing VW late homologation for its 2017 car to be used by privateers https://t.co/EXZgD2co5D https://t.co/ZA3JqmZSWz
If I were in charge of a team, M-Sport especially, the only way I'd agree to a waiver is by some large financial compensation or future development waiver as a quid pro quo. Otherwise forget it. WRC may benefit from VW involvement, VW would benefit from such involvement (particularly if one of the testing drivers gets to be in the private team). All the other teams are in a questionable benefit situation - particularly if Polo 2017 edition performs to the 2013-16 edition standard. So my crystal ball shows a cancelled party in Wolfsburg tonight!!Quote:

Good for WRC, but I cannot imagine how this can be good for other manu teams. Especially when "private" VW's start to beat them on regular basis.
