@prodrive Great to have @krismeeke back in the MINI WRC Thurs/Fri testing in Southern Spain. Trying out a range of new parts for the car.
Sordo is going to test next Sunday and Monday. Tests are going to take place at Huelva.

We have to accept that Rallying is circuit racing’s dirty and less glamorous cousin – and the media will show an interest when it suits them.
Saying that, Motorsport is a good magazine....and the idea of a Hall of Fame is to be applauded, just don’t expect too many Rally drivers to pop up.
You only have to take a two second glance at how the race of champions has metamorphesised in recent years to support that theory.Quote:

Maybe they should call it the Brittish Hall of Fame, then the choose of rally driver makes sence.
Lets hope they do not include any other rally drivers...because their criteria are a bit grim.
