Ofcourse, free-to-air TV is always the best, but I think Canal+ has quite a strong penetration in the French market.

Same day M-Sport asks for a delay to enter the 2019 WRC....

They need probably 15 millions, Mads will not fulfill that. If he will want to drive he could re enter team at any time even if deadlines are closed. What M-Sport is needing right now is sposnor so they could enter WRC championship for manufacturers. If not they wuill probably still be there just with the drivers titles or maybe some events will be missed.

Any idea what this means? (Retweeted by Skoda Motorsport)

No vacancies as a chauffeur for the EU institutions? :D

If Mads doesn't get a drive he would make a Class-A WRC presenter :D

Erik Veiby talking about Tidemand leaving Skoda for not going to have a championship contending program, because the team is fully supporting now Kalle. They are aiming at a WRC drive and he talks about changing tactics of going to drive WRC2 at teams which also have a main class WRC program. He's talking specifically of Hyundai and says the car is better than it's thought to be.

There was recently somewhere else comments from OC Veiby saying the Citroen R5 isn't any good?

OC Veiby and Tidemand in Hyundai R5?
Maybe Mikkelsen/EVEN has stronger standing in Hyundai than expected?
