Probably it should be in separate thread. IMHO quite serious question...

My speculation: VW with Polo WRC, Skoda with new Fabia R4(T).

I heard they wanted two previous WRC winners in their team so I guess that would mean Latavala from 2013. If they run 3 cars(or 2 teams) at least that would leave space for the young guns.

But maybe the Citroen model is better? (to have a clear no.1)

Castrol is sponsor of Škoda so it's not that strange.

Good luck to Ogier.Lets see if VW will enter him to Monte,or they will prefere to enter Wiegand

Has there been any talk/confirmation about a Junior team?

Mini has the sponsoring too, the logo was already on the Polo from the test maybe even when the first pics got on the web, and Skoda Motorsport also sponsored for some years by them :)
