I did not say it was only youre fantasie Xsara Fan :) , I am happy if Novikov comes to back WRC. I only hope that Citroen will have a decent and honest policy to custumers, and we wil see more good drivers in a DS3 WRCar. It will be too good to hope for equal equipement and treatment for the privateers.
will Ketomaa have the support of the FCACA team also next year, or was it a 1 year deal?Quote:

Jari Ketomaa wil do the Rally of Lebanon (Middle East rally championship) (17-19 september). Maybe as a practise for the tarmac SWRC rounds
Is WRC programmes on Dave changing? There was a passing mention on totalrally about big changes, including a presenter change? Anymore details?
From 2011, North One and FIA will offer a LIVE tv stage on each rally of the season.
I think it's a great news for the media exposure, we're going to the right direction. Also in Italy, although there is not an italian Manufacturer or driver, there are highlights (1h) in a free-to-air channel (RAI Sport 1) and sometimes few live-tv stages.
Great job, North One Sport!
That was Nicky Grist and i thought he was talking about MotorsTV?? Dave is awesome, i have a link to the rally Japan one if anyone wants itQuote:

They are miles behind an acceptable standard still...
I think he meant WRC TV coverage in general. The Dave coverage is merely adequate. MotorsTV can only go with what they're given. ISC-NorthOne need to pull their finger out.Quote:

Kimi is sponsored by Red Bull so he won't be going to Monster unless they pay his contract.
the contract with Redbull ended this year, so why not ...Quote:

What does WRC promoter to make this sport more popular (At least live stage from next season PLUS they don't need new manufacturers)?!
Loeb leaving wrc after 2011.

Major news. I hope he will get awsome competition next year. Maybe that will make him stay... Anyway, all respect to his decision!
Good decision !!! nothing left to achieve, nothing left to master, nothing left to spoil his legacy...Quote:

He says he will take the decision after 2011, I don't think there is a definite decision yet, more a case of thinking about it and how Ogier progresses.
Perhaps our Francais friends can help?
you cannot get into a mans head but definately when these interviews come to surface you can tell the end is near....if not 2012 definately 2013
True but don't forget his book was released on Sept 16th so plenty of interviews to help sales.Quote:
