2022 WRC News & Rumours

https://twitter.com/RallyMexico/stat...h6CbPgNp1iMMjg

Finally some (Good) news regarding next year's calendar, after leaving in a hurry due to the Covid-19 outbreak last time in 2020, we're back in Mexico for 2023. Finally (hopefully) we won't have that 2 month break between Sweden & Croatia & we won't have to wait until Portugal in May to see the cars on gravel for the first time during the season. Also will be interesting to see the new cars being put through their paces in the high altitude of the Guanajuato stages.

He has Mikkelsens number i presume. Just put the childish "pride" away.

i think he has the number and can store the pride away, still, mikkelsen will not drive for free...
i bet "looking for a solution" is more like looking for cash.

If M-sport looking for a free driver that can be top 3, i'll say "good luck".
Or good riddance.

Interestingly Mexico seem to have deleted all references to this from their channels...

i think the situation is exactly this, and not from just now. they try to shake the tree of pr from time to time to see what happens. maybe the bull will finally give mikkelsen some wing...

Yeah, thats the only way in probably, but they already pay for Loeb?
And Fourmaux?

Anyone here has access to this? I wonder what the “Tänak could be on the move” is about

They simply need to go with Mikkelsen to Norwegian Hyta, have some proper german beer and make a deal. Mikkelsen must be in the tight spot now also - he has won ERC and WRC2, whats left? What is the piont to pile up those Wrc 2 titles? He is not getting any younger, competition in Wrc2 becomes more serious etc etc. Both M-Sport and Mikkelsen are in the position of "need" without the strong leverage. It is real shame to see the nice Puma finish 7th. Mikkelsen is the only alternative, unless some guy named Thiery would loose all his cool and would want to save his carrier in the last moment ( Tanak can not - he has Rally 2 business with Hyundai together with Marko Martin).
