talk that Henning Solberg may do Bulgaria in a Festia but is there slight signs of cracks with the relationship with M-Sport aswell
Hardly a surprise.....Quote:

He dreams to drive an WRC, and this is those cars last year on the "top of the line". First he says top priority is to score points in Açores for the championship so that he can miss scoring in Madeira.Quote:

Personaly I think he might be scared of IRC competition on his home ground.

shame he then went off really hard, we saw the car down the road and I was surprised on how far down the road the car was,
just one or two stages after I saw him. He is now a more consistent guy but I think between the learning process he sacrificed
some of his speed in order to keep the car on the road.
It was just announced that Markko Märtin takes part in Rally Estonia which is IRC candidate rally in this year (Held one and a half week before NORF). He will drive Focus WRC.

I`ll be there, that`s for sure!
Do you know who is the co-driver and is it the same car Georg Gross is driving or is it the new version?
It seems that he is driving with the same Focus as Gross did. He says that this is the best WRC ever :-)Quote:

Could it be Mr.Solberg then?
And I`m not to surprised about Martins thoughts, his best memories are with that car :)
It'd have to be Petter with all the Nad-Croc sponsorship. Would love to somehow see Martin in NORFQuote:

Matti Rantanen also used Mad-Croc in last year's NORF. Could it be him, although he is only a young talent! :D
Here is the official confirmation that he will drive Focus WRC03Quote:

edit discount sandell sure he has red bull backing now
Press release from Citroën on RallyBuzz..
Sebastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia will join the ranks of the Citroen Total World Rally Team in Finland, Japan and Great Britain. Dani Sordo and Marc Marti will play their usual role on the four
asphalt rounds.
Auch, that has to sting a bit for Sordo.Quote:

Be interesting to see if Ogier changes his driving with thee extra pressure of being in M1. I don't think Ford has a comeback N.O.T? Wilson to car 3 like you said maybe lol
I have a horrible feeling that Citroen did this so that Loeb is in control on gravel - as in if Ogier is winning, Citroen will ask him to 'accidentally' lose time so Loeb can win. While Ogier is in the Citroen Total team he is completely controlled by them. In Ogier's favour is the opportunity to work with and get used to the manufacturer team which I'm certain he'll be part of in 2011.
Also, I would think the next 3 gravel rallies may be Sordo best chance to ever win a gravel rally. He will have no pressure on him and will probably be told to just go for it and try and get experince of winning and cleaning roads.
Ogier was already under Citroens full control in the Junior Team. Remember Poland last year or Jordania this year?Quote:

they need him in the official team because he is way faster than sordo at the moment.
