You have the right to create new expression for this...

The question is: which drivers is the best for VW if they want an manufacturer title in 2013? Sordo has more change of the second VW seat and VW has more changes with Sordo and Ogier in team 1.

In answer to this: There is no way VW would want JML-Ogier team. I suspect it would be difficult to challenge Citroen for the Manufacturers title with 2 crash prone drivers. My bet would be Ogier-Sordo then a junior operation and no Juho. This way they can fight for wins and have someone else to try for the other top positions.

Potential, as said. History not written yet. As for time being Loeb is, yes.

As Rallyper says!

bit of a long shot but when is the 2013 calendar roughly expected to be announced, as ive just been looking at extreamly cheap flights to Nice for the 2012 Monte :D

For 2013 I hope you are booking flights and not 2012! I would say at previous years dates the 2013 event will run Wedensday 16th to Sunday 20th January 2013.

I would think next calendar released normaly end of April/some time in May.

I bet NZ/Aust won't be on it. I am hearding bad things down here

@tpf: Not from NZ anyway. For hippies that best thing in this country is some 1080 poison and a helicopter. They will chase you will their colorful banners for miles.

@6789: I cannot name the source but lets say there are some worries; with Australia I am not sure. I read that the FIA is under some pressure to give the NZ/Au slot to someone else (ie India, Russia, China, Brazil).

In my opinion, in 2013 we will have this calendar:

Monte Carlo
Sweden + Norway
Mexico
Portugal
Argentine
Greece
New Zealand (Australia)
Finland
Germany (France)
Brazil
Spain
GB-Wales
Italy
