Offcourse everyone wants to win (as a sportsman u have to do that otherwise u better retire) , but I think he won't beat a Seb Ogier with a top car for the World Championship. He can prove me wrong..

You can of course think whatever You want but I fail to see how it is related to ambitions of another man especially when it's usually the ambitions what makes the best what they are.
I join you in your disappointment guys :)Quote:

Apart for Teams like Peugeot and Skoda (the latter this year probably to a lesser extent) and drivers like Delecour of course. But still no news of guys like Basso, Bouffier, Ketomaa etc. - it looks like they´re not able to finance an ERC program - at least at the moment.
According to Autosport.com Craig Breen will do Rally Islas Canarias - although the source is that utter moron David Evans.
With his crayons he scribbled down that Breen finished fourth on his ERC debut in Rally Liepaja-Ventspils (not second, and he couldn't spell Liepaja-Ventspils so he just said Latvia) and that Rally Islas Canaris (or Canaries Rally according to Evans) will be a chance to size up Kubica as a title threat - that'll be because the earlier story from today about Kubica's WRC2 plans was written by a different journalist on Autosport.com. Or Evans is just a complete idiot and thinks his story from last week about Kubica committing to the ERC must be true.
So Breen might be doing Rally Islas Canarias, but I will believe it when I see it from a credible source.
This info was confirmed by organisers last week. Also Peugeot officially confirmed it...Quote:

Motorsport News today report/speculate that Kubica could do as many as 15 rallies this year to compete for both WRC2 and ERC titles.
There is a quote from a Eurosport guy saying that they are doing everything they can to help this happen.
MN also quite rightly point out that it would make sense from a commercial point of view for Kubica to compete on the next 2 ERC events after Canarias as these both have live tv.
I know that Kubica is (or was) talking with Acores organisers about his start.
Thanks for the news guys. It would be great to see Robert competing in ERC on a regular basis. WRC-2 is good for tourists ;)
