Tomorrow, "as the year ends". The final sentence promises "news in a couple of days".

If the sales would rocket by +66% I think the Östberg card had been played a long time ago. I guess the WRC in a market like Norway is mostly seen as a tool for brand awareness, not as a quick fix...

Re: Østberg & Citroen Norway

I can't say for sure how independent Citroen Norway is when it comes to spending their brand marketing money, but it's quite likely that they need to get an approval...

Atleast he's fast (slow drivers don't win rallies, do they?) and relatively young.

Based on recent events I'm not sure if it means anything, but Neuville has a contract with Hyundai for 2021 as well.

Or... just thinking out loud, but this does resemble an awful lot of the situation Mäkinen found himself in November 2016. He had signed Hänninen and Lappi (in that order) when the whole VW trio...

Yeah, if you expect him to reveal the unannounced deals in the media, then don't bother reading.



Just a reminder that we got these masterpieces yesterday:

The latest from Don Timo Jouhki. To quote a former Finnish rally driver, there's "nothing special", but anyway. It's not...

Yep, I noticed the same. Rautiainen didn't sound like he was 100% sure about the "quitting penalty" though.

Ari Pusa, long-time Finnish journalist and author of the now postponed Mäkinen autobiography, writes that according to his sources Lappi is indeed...

I don't think Latvala's too keen on spending his hard-earned money on financing some WRC events, especially as there seems to be quite little to gain. And Jouhki most likely is not willing to do it...

That exactly was the point, that there's no need to get the theoretical "best" out of him when you have Ogier and Evans in the team.

But anyway, we'll see how it goes...

Newsflash: she might also have her own career and there's a chance she's not solely living through the achievements of her husband.

I got your point, but it's not only about maths of what's happened before.

If we talk about team dynamics, there are risks in having both Neuville and Tänak in the same team. Are they both able to...

I dare to disagree.

Was this here already?

Lappi saying the announcement (which he received when Budar called him on Wednesday morning) was a shock. Even though the rumors were...

Ok, it can be the translation but this sounds like the soap opera ain't over just yet.

Imagine if someone had said in Sep/Oct 2018 that the 2020 season will see Tänak and Loeb in Hyundai fighting against Ogier in Toyota... and that's just some 14 months ago.

I'm gonna go with Fiesta-driving Lappi for that title. Oh how I wish it would happen.

There are still few rallies to go before the 2020 season is finished...

Google translate. It says Ogier, Evans and Rovanperä have been linked to Toyota, for the places which Meeke and Latvala are also fighting for.

As much as I wish it would be Huttunen, I guess it's Tidemand (sincerely hoping I'm wrong).

e. if you zoom the picture the guy standing next to the red car is wearing a Red Bull cap.

Just like Citroen made its commitment few years ago and things surely have changed since.


The CEOs report to PSA managing board and those are the guys who eventually run the show. So anything's...

I don't wanna sound negative, but the 5-year plan doesn't mean a thing IF the executives at Citroen/PSA want to terminate the program. VW had made a similar plan and commitment and we all know how...

Ofcourse everybody fancies (or I'd be surprised if some didn't) about more entries and more manufacturers. That's a no-brainer. My point was, that amongst the different eras of World Rallying, having...
