[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

Well this guys were not full factory drivers or 2nd drivers as Latvala. Still remember '97 when Schwarz was fired from Wilson after one bad rally and replaced with KKK. Not good for the sport.

@bluuford: I agree, but Novikov has more money than Tanak! ;)

From all new drivers Ogier is only one worth of works signing.

The evidence would suggest that Ford/M-Sport are hopeless at managing drivers.

Whole team is on drugs. :D

I think they have to say that - they wouldn't want him to say its all over already. Petter will know the seasons over in his head.

I'm a bit disapointed with Tanak, I did expect better from him. I still say out of the three ford "B" team drivers (Novikov, Ostberg, Tanak) Ostberg is the boss.

Indeed! He should be! look again whom do you compare?
Mads has 44 starts in WRC with WRCar and over fifty starts in National events in a WRCar;-)
Do you remember that he was shown in a show named smth like "sporting accidents." He crashed his Subaru many times and they advised him to change the sport :-P

Broken Leg, ribs, and apparently some internal bleeding.

I am in favor of GRC and love that at least some form of Rallycross is getting exposure in the States, but that metal ramp is BULL****!! At the very least it needs to be dirt. Nascar wont allow dirt on their tracks, but at X? Why not have it be dirt like all other years?

Edit: one should note that marcus has been quite vocal against the jump.

Update:
Apparently he "only" broke his ankle in multiple places, but surely better than previously reported. Sorry, I know this isn't wrc, but I thought people would be interested.

Best,

The one who created this jump should apply for Ford development department for crash dummy position..
