page 16/17 - I am well and truly confused by now!!!!! - does this mean 2000 N/A again, and S1.6T in 2013 -
So was I, but obviously what it says will happen - S2000 until 2013, then S1.6T. Personally, i'd allow a choice between both plus a TDI, but that ain't going to happen.Quote:

Does that make sense?
Lol, this is really getting beyond a joke now.
Indeed, FIA incompetence is infinite.Quote:

My personal opinion is that the parent companies, (Ford & Citroen) have siad there is no money to develop a new 1.6T competition engine in time for 2011. Hopefully the car markets pick up and in future we can have an 1.6T as this is definately the way road cars are going (smaller engines). Also (cynically I guess) they see 2 manufactureres in WRC when Proton as a new manufacturer has just joined IRC. If IRC can boast Pugeot, Skoda, FIAT, Proton, Opel whilst wrc manage 2 it makes car buyers think where is the best competition. WRC needs to poach at least one of these manufacturers from IRC, and Abarth has said if its S2000 N/A they would join.
