I heard about that last week - they haven't got the publicity they were expecting. Not really a surprise to me. I wouldn't take too much notice of David Evans, he blows the trumpet of the WRC far too much for supposed 'neutral' journalist. Kimi may attract fans to his service area - but how many newspaper columns, magazine articles are reporting on him? Not that many I'd say. He makes news whenever he is linked to a return to F1, not his mishaps in WRC.Quote:

Gee, what a surprise that the one of the key parties in any possible contract negotiation would make a statement like this....Quote:

This week, Mikko Hirvonen has tested Rally de France with his Ford Focus Wrc .. Here my video : http://planetemarcus.free.fr/testday...enfrance10.htm

Maybe they'll go to Cyprus, because there is also the Golden Stage Rally with big prizes. :DQuote:

I think that source is his dad :D
:dozey:
Check Gerard Quinn's Twitter....some tantalising info almost leaked there.
mobile servicing next year in wrc?
Also says things like minimum of 400kms max 800kms. Dont know when this is planned for. Gerard concerned over costs, any gains made by cheaper wrc cars will be lost. I am wondering if this is all linked to the much rumoured R classes?
Still not that cheap though - £340,000 for a SuperProduction Mini is not cheap! The most expensive cost is still the cars!! When will they learn?Quote:

The most expensive is development, testing and logistics. To build let's say 4 cars isn't that much in team season budget.
Finnish media is telling today that Marcus Grönholm is seriously considering to make come back to WRC. He was happy and positively surprised the performance of mini in tests he drove last week. Now he should make a decision whether to come back or not. Prodrive has made several options from fully season to just a test driver.
"If I make a come back it's not a question of money. It's because I love rallying and because I want be part of the new and interesting project" says Grönholm
I love the attitude more than the news itself!Quote:

Gronholm is going to be a nice addition to the championship and for sure a good standard for other mini drivers to compare with.
Bosse was supposed to have made a decision with DR last Thursday. I expect we shall hear at the Paris Salon at the weekend or early next week.
They are quoting this Autosport article from last Friday.Quote:

It'd be nice to have Marcus back. He always brings some extra to the rallies with his presence, especially now after his "official" retirement. Nothing wrong with that. I hope Loeb will do same kind of one-offs once he retire, though highly doubt it. Like Marcus says, it's for the love of the sport, so hard to fight against it.

This new car reminds me of the Group S quattro that was supposed to be used before the group B ban.
Anybody knows if there is more to it than just a new model?
