Why is Henning's car orange if it is the Stobart team?
There is not even a Stobart logo on the car.
Expert (who use orange) is his main sponsor, that's why :)
His main sponsor is indeed Expert, but his points are for the M2team Stobart VK M-Sport Ford Rally Team. The link with the team is the girlsname of the car. Each Stobartcar; trucks, vans and WRCars has two laddienames at the front of the car.
Expert is paying 50mill kroner/4,5mill pounds for two years so i think they would very much like to have the car in there own colour
This year is it Expert who pays the ride to MSport, and Henning is a paid hired driver (and can in theory be replaced if Expert want to do that).
Expert had one clear demand with their sponsorship: It had to be orange. Thats why a car and not a soccer team or anything else...
There are rumors that Henning will do Bulgaria in a Fiesta S2000, is this confirmed somewhere and in case of yes, which car will he be using ?
Have you ever seen his car or a photo of his car. Take another look:Quote:

Isn't that an oxymoron...??? ;)Quote:

I think Henning still is faster than Wilson, but get a car that he uses a lot of time in the rally to get as he needs it to be to drive fast.
I think Henning would have more fun in S2000 !
S2000 on this seasons tarmac rallys :up:

Will Henning have any time in the car before the rally or is the first time he sits in the car at shakedown ?

Will be very interesting to see Henning in the Fiesta WRC. If the S2000 results are anythibg to go by' the car suites him better than the Focus. How will he do compared to the other Fiesta WRC drivers do you think ?
The short stint Henning had with GoFast the last time, is hopefully a longer relationship this time around.
Would be good for all 3 parties involved!
We'll cross fingers and everything :) Maybe the problem last time was the team and not the other things?
Uh, I'm confused. Did I miss something important?
Henning+prodrive+go fast.
I see. Do you have a source?
Some written "news"/rumours in norwegian media, so lets see :)
is there any chance to he can be at Monte Carlo?
No, entries closed.
I think I'll wait for something a little more official than rumours in the national media. In my experience, they tend to be unreliable.Quote:

Why investing money in an old chap like Henning... He was nowhere a few years ago (pace) and with a few years of inactivity, it will be worse! Please invest that money in a young talent, that should be a lot better!
Just don't say Matt Wilson.
Exactly my thoughts. Why not sponsor just Prodrive, so PD can choose their drivers..Quote:

I think you misunderstand the whole thing.Quote:

Of course he does. But he is doing what he wants to do, and as long as he finds the funding for it, why not? It's not like he is "stealing" others sponsors, if they would not support him they would probably support nobody at all...Quote:
