bit wrong, new Astra engine is still from GM :)

If Ogier moves to Toyota then I guess Citroen will go for Latvala or Mikkelsen. If it’s true Rovanpera is in the third Yaris then at least one of Meeke or Latvala will have to go.

If Ogier goes to Toyota, it’s because there is no Citroen.

So there’s no seats there to be filled.

I wouldn't mind, if Latvala would retire and grabs a commentator seat at WRC+

Not necessarily that it has to be Latavala, but they need someone with current WRCar experiance to replace Becs, during live stages. She is better in the HQ/ service area being in charge there, or they need 3 during stages,

Becs is good. They need to replace Emyr. Everytime he opens his mouth its maked u facepalm.

I was about to add the same. Completely agree!

So strong rumours of Evans to Toyota.

If they got Ogier too that is about as strong a team as possible to take on Hyundai for the titles.

I think that Becs is fine as the lead commentator, when she has Julian Porter or good guest like Ostberg/Hirvonen alongside her. When it’s her and PK or Desborough it’s starts to fall apart as neither are the ‘technical’ guys and it starts to become a bit unfocused.
Its good having J.Porter on commentary for at least some stages as he does find out useful bits and pieces, and I guess the stages are when the viewing figures are highest, but if it were me I would try to find a permanent ‘expert’ co-commentator to share the load with JP, and use Desborough in the studio, and Pk for the highlights packages.

I wish there was someone around who could add his comments with authority (like ex-world champion), who has not too out-dated knowledge of workings of current cars and teams (retired not too long ago), who has passable english skills and is naturally nice and chatty person... Know anyone like this? ;-)
