No chance, they didn't show Dani Sola in Corsica even though he won Grp N and came 10th overall!

b, S11 from DMG for Wilks I think(Higgins yellow ITC car)
c, DMG(Derek McGarrity) running Meeke in the S12 that Donnelly used to win the ITC, it was white last I knew and I havent heard for sure who will sponsor him but dont be surprised if it yellow
d, Nesbitts car run by McKinstry Motorsport(I think it will be Meekes Killarney winning S11)
e, Aaron, son of Austin, brother of Gareth
i, I think this will also be run by McKinstry

I believe he had ordered an 07 Focus and bought the S12 in the meantime. He will be using an 06 M-Sport car as the the 07 car is not ready in order to get some seat time on the new shape car.

b.) Guy Wilks is now running an Impreza S12 instead of the Ramsport Focus WRC. Does anybody know what team is running that car? Wilks is in an S11, the one Miggins drove, and is being run by DMG

c.) What team is running Kris Meeke? - and will it be in the yellow/red Pirelli colours? No idea on colours, S12 car that Donnelly ran and wll be ungraded by Prodrive to S12B spec. Run and owned by DMG

d.) What team is running Andrew Nesbitt? Presume McKinstry S11 car.


e.) Is Aaron McHale in the Austin/Gareth family? And will Aarons car be run byr Tom Gahan? Yes.

f.) What team is running Tim McNulty? Dom Buckley.

g.) Will Gareth Jones be back in his Rally Finland Focus - or in the Ramsport Focus? Don't know.

h.) What team is running Ray Breen? Don't know


i.) What team is running Kevin Barrett? Don't know (again)

@ noel157 & cut the b.s.

I can now confirm that the Focus of Ray Breen is being run by Tom Gahan.

I have also asked Kenny McKinstry what cas he will run and his reply was only the Subaru of Kevin Barrett but NOT Andrew Nesbitt. So I wonder who’s running his car?

An entry is allowed to change one thing without permission of the FIA, so an other driver with the same co driver and car, or an other car with the same driver and co driver. (If I am right informded about the FIA regulations).

OK!! Thanks for your explication, hope to see that switch!!

It wil depend on the Rally Japan result. If Loeb wins, he is 4 points behind, and he has a very good change on the title if Sordo and Duval come between him and Gronholm in Ireland, and then maybe Citoren will pay for Duval's entry. If Gronholm wins Japan, Loeb is 8 points behind and he has not a good change of become world champion again in Wales.

If Gronholm wins Japan and Loeb is second - then he will be 6 points behind (not 8 points)

:dozey: My mistake. 4 points seperated now is even bettter for the championship. I stil think it depends on if Loeb wins in Japan if Citroen are willing to give a C4 WRC to Duval. Loeb has to be within 2 points of Gronholm when they start in Wales to really have a change..

Duval unsure if will compete due to lack of money,according to Autosport.

In other related news DMG romoured to have two Xsaras for next years ITC.
