1 for normal conditions, the other is just in case, like a snow tyre for GB.

I could see WRC amalgamating with IRC in 2010, with Eurosport the promotor.

Ooh, ouch!!

My guess is that they are pissed with the new rules.
Financially, they are sound.

Only manufacturer to maintain sales in 08 in the US, so money not the issue.

Loeb is a the moment snow testing in Västerbotten, Sweden.
Business as usual obviously, at least for Cit.

I'll probably have to pay attention to what you have to say from now on.

Eurosport is a good promoter...

you are joking tomi...

Hmm... Will Citroen and Ford retire after Subarus decision? Ford doesn't have a very good economy and them retiring for 2009 and back 2010 makes sense based on the economy and the fact that the car regulations will change.

However, what will come up next year? I don't think Henning will stay in Ford. My connections in France talk about him in a Bozian car, and maybe Petter as well after this decision.
