He didnt seem to hold any grudges after SS6 and the position drop to help his team leader.

I hope Elfyn gets a drive of some kind next year.

Elfyn Evans stated how disappointed he was to have to concede time to Ogier in Australia, saying it was even more so as he doesnt have a seat for 2019.

Sounds like he knows he's not got the money...

He did now yes, but not at first T16.

One unidentified photo of a Toyota from a test is very different to mass photos on a Rally SD and official reports.

Nice feature about behind-the-scenes cost and logistics of WRC...

Big shame. It was great for rally coverage of various national championships. I also prefer their WRC highlights with Julian Porter over the official ones.

Not if they go into 'money making mode'... ;)

If Ogier wants to continue in 2019, whatever the 2018 Championship result, I cant see him thinking Citroen will be a more likely winning option that M-Sport Ford.

I missed your post but there was no further discussion so maybe that's why...

Next year agreed for Latvala, Suninen and Kalle Rovanperä. Details still to be finalized, confirmed by manager Jouhki.

There are only three 'No.1 driver's' - Ogier, Neuville and Tanak.

If Citroen cant get one of these, then Sordo is 5th in the currrent WRC table and having a good year.

Lappi or Latvala... I...

Sordo to Citroen makes sense as he has history there... plus Spain is a huge market for Citroen road cars.

Paddon's links with Hyundai NZ are strong, makes sense he stays with them.

Good timing by Citroen after disappointing Rally Finland for Ogier and better speed shown by the C3 WRC ...

BTCC also to go hybrid with an additional unit alongside the current engines...

This is what I predicted for WRC...

That's so true... their ALS was totally brutal !

I cant agree with this at all.

Casual fans might think the WRC's look cool but that will be more when they see them in photos or in service.

But when they are in action, what impresses is the...

While I totally sympathise about the possible loss of noise in future cars, Stefanvv is right re the 'noise' for the PC/TV viewer.

Even with the current cars you can hardly hear the engine, plus...

I'm sure hybrid is the likely answer. Electric for power and promotion of the manufacturer tech... and a small petrol for noise, for the fans.

The Premier League football isnt 'made' by the BBC and they buy a package of highlights for Match of the Day. So why not a package of WRC and use their own commentators ?

The BBC really struggle to afford decent sport these days. They only spend on total mainstream (football) or the very cheapest (like equestrian).

I wonder what the WRC charges ? Surely it would be...

Problem is that the current cars are only just attracting back the casual viewer to WRC, due to being more extreme. If they go to hybrid/electric I can see them losing them again. They dont care...

I think we could be heading for the kind of change like when Group B got banned and the cars went to the slower, quieter, weedier-looking, Group A cars.

It took a long time (maybe never) to get...
