Read the record books Plan9. I believe McRae won the British Championship at least once in the 90's. As for being "too valuable", neither of these drivers have anything to distinguish them from the hordes of other WRC hopefuls.Quote:

Alister is 41...
are you guys for real using words like hopeful and other obscure remarks about guys who are 2 feet away from the old peoples homes ??
Star trek universe is sure a nice place to be....but please do not confuse it with reality.
Well, I'm very happy for Alister, but there is no way he can do more than APRC in next years.

would be a very good choice from vw!
I heard some speculations about Neuville few weeks a go and found them quite logical especially considering Thierry is native German speaking guy. Anyway if it comes true, it would be very very sane choice.
only problem is that neuville pretty mutch sticks to psa. they have build him up, and as far as i get that article right, thats not a easy choice for him. stay in irc with peugeot, maybe get a future in wrc with citroen. or bite the hand that feeds you and leave to skoda, with maybe a future in wrc with vw.
and from what i heard, neuville normally has some contract with psa, that´s why vw wasn´t able yet to let him testdrive theyre skoda. normally he was the first choice for rallye germany instead of weijs jr.
Stick with PSA for what? The 207 is clearly behind Skoda already and really it was his (and Bouffier's) talent that got the results they did. Next year without serious input the gap will widen further. If he wants to get into WRC or challenge for title again IMO he needs to move away from PSA, or get assurances there's some serious development happening, esp with that damn alternator.
shure, if you simply look at the pure facts its a easy choice. but without psa neuville would probably not be where he is today at all.
