Teemu is still the best M-Sport driver, such a irony
Wilson must be thinking.. scr*w you young guys.. I'll drive the car myself next season..
Another rally where MSport's presence in WRC is over during Friday (Estonia same), this time due to drivers.
Now these two are supposed to be at least 2/3 of the team next year...
I think this was learning curve for Fourmaux. Who knows what happens with his skills after that crash?
Normally he would come out stronger, I hope.
Over time I think the factory teams would likely "outbudget" the local guys anyway. (a bit like Skoda in 2017-2018 testing more than than even WRC teams). There are signs of this in WRC2 also, with testing rallies and lots of tests by some (Østberg, Toksport, Gryazin...). But maybe it wouldn't be so bad.Quote:

Maybe, but he's nowhere close to being a leading driver for a team that has any ambitions. Even if it might be just rally wins.Quote:

It looks like that here because we have only five WRC2 entries and even they are not proper factory team entries but drivers paying for their drives. And none of them is driving the best car, Skoda. The two most experienced drivers (Mikkelsen and Östberg) are skipping the event, as are most of the French WRC3 drivers.Quote:

Yeah but at the moment there's zero factory teams in WRC2. No car manufacturer is paying a driver money to drive in WRC2. VW is completely abandoned by the manufacturer, while only Skoda, Citroen, Hyundai and M-Sport still develop the car and run customer programs. What is the sixth make? Proton? Peugeot? Toyota?Quote:

Munster with old hyundai i20 r5 in front of works hyundais and faster overall at stage.
That would be funnyQuote:

I don't think he'd even pay for his own drive...Quote:

It was a brand new Fiesta WRC. Chassis 13 and it is Friday the 13th
I think it was more like the Speed was ok just the corner came too quickly......or as we say in this country - ' He ran out of Talent '.....

what Ott said again?
E: Martin said the motor is totally flat now, whatever it means
Everybody was faster than their morning run except Tänak who was 4 secs slower
dangerous driving there. either you cut completely or you don't cut. this is wat makes your tyres suddenly lose air.Quote:

The one positive of the M-Sports' demise is we now get to see more of the WRC2 battle.
so the police just took Jaanu Ree's photo gear, dunno the reason
Police seem to have some problems there..Quote:

Classic Ypres for the M-Sport newbies - small mistakes, big consequences.
