Ford Europe is reporting that some big announcements are coming soon..
They can produce 120 minutes of that mediocre garbage they call footage and still none will care. I cannot recall when was the last time i watched the official garbage footage they produce.Quote:

So they can say that they have improved the product by cutting less bad stuff out.Quote:

So Erik Veiby confirms that Esapekka Lappi will drive a WRCar in 2017, official announcement coming soon. According to this newspaper it's Toyota (that hardly comes as a surprise). In addition, according to Veiby, it's "possible" that Lappi isn't driving a full season in 2017, and that ofcourse is quite obvious, if 1) Latvala is indeed coming to Toyota and 2) Hänninen drives in all rallies (as once again confirmed by Mäkinen in Finnish media yesterday).
I just wonder what was the thing having Suninen testing the Yaris WRC last week? Will Suninen (paid by Toyota) drive one more season in WRC2 and do some testing with Yaris WRC in 2017?
And Ostberg clear for 2017 as well according to this:

it's just simply cancer to my heart to watch these guys spitting out nothing informative but 'depicting what they're seeing right now'.
What is your source? Do you mean this?Quote:

Ciesla talking to AS: 2017 calendar will keep 2016 rallys. Turkey will not be taken for security reasons and China is only an option for 2018. WRC promoter future aim: to get a 16 event calendar, 8 in Europe + 8 outside Europe. http://motor.as.com/motor/2016/11/21...59_085955.html
That would be fantastic, but the manufacturers probably won't agree.Quote:

Earlier this year there were rumours about Canada and Japan I believe, maybe there is some truth in it after all.

I think John (Janvanvurpa) has pointed out several times that North America is quite hopeless, when it comes to rallies on the world level (roads, organising, etc). But I may remember incorrectly as it's been quite some time since someone said North America could host a WRC event.Quote:

Oh dear. They're repeating all the mistakes ISC/ NorthOne made. 16 events is far too many, for a sport that is 'niche'. This isn't F1 which can afford to go everywhere. 10-12 properly promoted 'events' that make a noise when visiting each country; instead of the bland identikit events we currently get.Quote:

Maybe that´s one of the non-European events planned...
I don't get what are such awards good for.Quote:

The promoter with the blessing of the FIA is turning the most historic motorsport in the world into a plebian circus of nobodies, and i cannot blame them when you have "fans" that pay money to get WRC+ and they are ok with the current promotion of WRC, ok with the on board cameras, ok with the useless pro photographers who take pictures of lakes and flowers, ok with the spectators that take videos of hairpins, ok with those videos that chinless vagabond dog going around trash cans, ok with having to pay stupid ticket prices to put you into those hairpins, ok with people who consider bogey times a solution, and countless other things.
Its the new era ladies, you are not allowed to critisise anything because you might burst the pink bubble of political correctness.
Hostage? Btw Per, I'm going this year ;)Quote:

It was not the Promoters idea for the awards, Rally Australia held the event for their event organizers ego!! Only reason how and why they got the final round :/
He means accommodation.Quote:

Malcolm shut the M-Sport door from @JariMattiWRC, reports @ISUrheilu. Toyota remains as his sole chance. http://www.iltasanomat.fi/ralli/art-2000004876187.html … #WRC

...and Timo Jouhki quickly denied that report, claiming they're still in negotiations with Wilson as well. But also Jouhki admits, that nothing will happen before Ogier decides where he wants to go.
Jouhki of course he has to deny these rumors when his driver is at the research for seat.
It would be quite funny if Lappi would be Toyota´s nr.2 and Latvala Toyota´s nr.3. :D Well it would make sense to me. Lappi could evolve into top driver (and they are aiming at 2018) so being team manager I would put him into the WRC car for as many rounds as possible. Latvala will never change. For sure, he is kind guy, one of the fastest drivers, but he is...Latvala (which means very inconsistent because of his mind)
