They are not a charity. It is not free to put on a WRC event either..

Kris Meeke will start in Corsica in a 208 R2!

But only as zero car :(

Maybe it will lead on to something else. Peugeot is better than being stuck with Prodrive. I havn't heard who will co-drive for him?

Driving the zero car was always the plan. Peugeot is a partner in the event. I believe Chris Patterson will co-drive.

He has already been testing the 208 T16 and DS3 R5 so I think we can expect to see him do some events in one of those later in the year. As you say, great to see him working with a manufacturer after the disappointing treatment by Prodrive.

Remember that Sarrazin did the same job last year.

I suppose this means that Meeke will be on the entry list next year :D .

The quality of fiaerc.com news service is still falling down. I have just noticed a piece of news titled "ERC winner Tlusťák set for Czech Rallysprint action"
ERC winner Tlus
Since when is Tlustak ERC winner? Have I missed something?

He won 2WD ERC title three or four years a go. That shows how terrible the quality of competition was that time...
