Mini, at this stage, is in for 10 rounds. The long haul events may not be done. There might be a principal sponsor deal done shortly too.

Kanaal 2 now 2be dropped the program (national tv so stupid) Now it's for more then a year back with some nice coverage of many autosport divisions it's only viewable on Telenet Digital TV.
He still has the pitstop.tv but not so many news on it. On his twitter @peterbaert he tweet some news out to the public :) .
It suprises me u know the guy :D . He's still the leading autosport news journalist for the Dutch talking people in europe :)
i know him and his site for the amazing onboard videos he had waaaaaay back in the good old days...and he always was a good source for Euro rally info.Quote:

I'm sure we should see some sort of semi-official M-Sport team at least?.. Like when Skoda pulled and the following year we had Red Bull Fabia WRCs (except hopefully better!)Quote:

The risk is if it is no longer a full works programme that they will fall even further behind on development.
iīm 100% shure that m-sport will continue without fordīs support. they have no other choice, what should they do else? they have cars, they have parts, they have customers, they have wrc academy and all the other stuff like trucks, motorhomeīs, mechanics etc. onlything they dont have is money probably. so it will be no payed drivers, only customers then. but they will have the top drivers anyhow. they also have no other choice, there are simply no other teams. i see ogier and latvala in fordīs for 2012 paying for theyre drive.
M-Sport will continue with Latvala next season.
only with Latvala?
its confirmed or its your rumour?
