Hard to believe that a complete R5 car will cost under 250.000€. Selling R5 cars, like S2000 before, will be a very profitable exercise to manus, contributing to their rally departments survival....

Agree, according to some sources Schwarz 2000 jump (2001 was the diluvian year) was near 40m: Salto de Armin Schwarz Rali Pt 2000 (ainda) - Autosport.pt

But to many of us, portuguese fans, the...

The PT Autosport article says that this eventual Sanremo WRC return is based in the mixed surface scheme that made the italian rally an iconic event.

We're forgetting the possible main reason why Ford is quitting and Citroen almost did it: economic crisis over Europe.

European auto sales are in a huge decline, creating big losses to almost...

What will be Subaru main plan in building an R5 car? To provide rally clients from all around the world a (costly) substitute for their Gr.N cars or to get officialy involved in international series...

For now it's just a rumour (AS source is "someone close to FIA") but it would be great for WRC to have this iconic rally back.

An amazing clip from last mixed Sanremo with the unforgettable 555...

Yet they have kept running...hard to find bigger proof of their love for the sport! At the end it's a simple question of reciprocity.

Ford has been in WRC almost permanently since the series...

It's hard to see it as black money because the target price is nothing more than an FIA wishful thinking rule.

FIA operates outside the commercial circuit of a rally car, they don't act as trade...

Well done Iskald! Source highly reliable. Please don't be shy to share these kind of infos!

Just left to confirm Hyundai/MSport partnership. By the way, what can you tell about other possible...

I don't get it. Wasn't Ford WRC programme financed by Ford Europe? Strange to see Ford Racing engagements in USA using the european filial funds, especially when Ford is desperate to improve sales in...

Get real Mirek. S2000 didn't turn expensive because they inspired WRC1.6T. They completely overtake cap prices (from initial 168.000€ to over 300.000&#8364 ;) simply because they were used by factory...

Totally agree, but we tend to forget that touring cars racing is in BMW's DNA, not rally.

Of course rally raid isn't either, but XRaid excepctional partnership started in a very friendly and...

Or pushed until rip the roof out! House owners were very lucky that Mr. "Demolition" Solberg, hasty guys undisputed king, wasn't there... :s pin:

That's no good reason to pull out SanRemo. Very similar situation to Montecarlo and no one dares to put out Alsace from WRC because there are 2 rallies using french stages...

This calendar is...

Caramba! Why doesn't anyone turn this "Ford every year quiting topic" into a TV soap opera?

Ford is commited to WRC with MSport for 2012 and 2013: Ford extends World Rally Championship...

You're right. Is this Winter Rally the one from Lithuania? Still, it'll look like a Swedish replica rally...

Eurosport intentions on making ERC a WRC lookalike series are pretty obvious in this (draft?) calendar.

3 ex-wrc events: Corsica, Cyprus and Poland; 4 wrc evocative events: Açores (reminds New...

“The FIA wants to turn the WRC more global and focus on car manufacturers while the ERC will remain Euro-centric, cost-efficient and dedicated to teams.
We therefore see no conflict of interest...

ERC can be reinvented in many ways. It hasn’t to be a gentleman drivers parade or a manufacturers refuge.

FIA should encourage european top drivers to compete in a ‘grand slam’ from european...

I'm not twisting facts. IRC was early promoted as a competition for drivers, but after 2006 experimental season it was clear that it was meant to become a manufactureur WRC rival series.

That's...

That's my point! If FIA manage to put RedBull and Eurosport working together it'll be a success, otherwise it'll end damaging the sport (don't forget WRC tv coverage decline in result of...

Best wishes to Hyundai on this WRC comeback! Hope Nandan will have better conditions than last WRC tryout with Suzuki.
