I'm sure Gilsoul wouldn't have to pay MSport too much to get the gig

According to this jamoul says its because of their too different character.
Would be for Oliver as well.Quote:

Doubt there will be 5 Pumas at RMC. Probably 3. Maybe later in the season a 4th one if they agree on something with Loeb or Mikkelsen. 90% the trio at Monte will be Fourmaux, Breen and Greensmith.
You don’t get it. He’s talking about customer cars. It could be Loubet, Serderidis, Kremer, Al-Qassimi etcQuote:

Not full seasons maybe but different customers for different eventsQuote:

Editing: 1/2 of the clip is people walking by with random comment completely unrelated to anything. How about instead doing 1-2 questions/commentsabout what is going on?
I would say a mix of customers’ type.Quote:

And the fifth one shared by various «*old*» gentlemen drivers all along the season such as Bertelli, Serderidis, Kremer, Prokop,

According to Spanish important newspaper MARCA there would be a deal between 9 times world champ Seb Loeb and Ford. He would drive some rally's in a shared car with Gus Greensmith.
The deal would have been approved by Prodrive, Loeb's current employer.
Belgian Speed Magazine (biggest belgian motorsport magazine) just announced as a "scoop" that Loeb will do 6 rally's in the Puma Rally1

So, Croatia, Spain, Japan, the rumored NI asphalt event and what else? Portugal and New Zealand? Pretty extended schedule, tbh.
I could see Loeb doing Safari.
Red Bull Ford Performance WRT
I’m sure Msport would prefer more gravel rallies so he can benefit from road position….
Perhaps, MC, Croatia, Safari, New Zealand, Spain & Japan? Just guessing of course.Quote:

It´s possible to do both Dakar and Monte, but of course a tight schedule, but Loeb is still young... :)
Yes and he finished 4th and 6th respectively.Quote:

Now, we have to wait and see for the squad for next season.
1st car is clear with Breen full-season.
For 2nd car, as far as I understand, Greensmith is full-season. Not the best option fast-wise but, in M-Sport situation, the best performance-money ratio and personnally, I think he is not that bad (for example, considering the car, I don’t find him worst than Katsuta’s season)
Not clear after that. Hope Fourmaux to have a full-time seat even if he does some mistakes by the end of the year but I think more of a 10-round program or something like that (probably 2-3 rounds for Loeb and maybe Sweden for another driver such as Huttunen)
Loubet is evoked, not really convinced by his season and don’t really understand how he can obtain additional budget, but not idiot in a 4th car.
Ford will have 5 cars during the season. 3 Pumas full time for Fourmaux, Greensmith and Breen, a 4th shared between others (rumored Huttunen/Loeb) and a 5th car for whoever pays like Loubet/Kremer/whoever.
One number that says it all.
Stage wins in 2021:
Hyundai 114
Toyota 105
MSport 1 (ONE)
On last stage before PS on Safari where almost everyone was saving tires, stage only run once and the most rough of the day.
Cool. That stat could look totally different at the end of 2022.Quote:

Then again it basically can't look worse.
Looks like a Puma door hasn't yet closed for Mikkelsen...
