    I'm now trying to imagine how the rally scene will be with only two manufactors. I mean, a whole year with only seeing Ford and Citroen? It will be really empty.

    The question everybody think of also is off course, what will Petter do in 09? I can't imagine that he will be out totaly? Maybe he decide to retire? Many questionmark now but i think we will know more in a couple of hours!

    The old dog has been put out of its misery. A very sad day for world rallying.

    Good on them for not throwing good money after bad. We needed cost cutting years ago and the FIA refused and now we're reaping what the FIA sowed.

    Ford will stay on regardless because Malcolm will want to say that his team got a drivers title for one of their drivers despite there being no competition.

    I think unless there is a LOT of interest in the new formula shown by other manufacturers Citroen will be out at the end of 2009. I would love for them to withdraw before the start of next season though. That would be great.
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    North One, the promotor will go broke at this rate. WRC will join IRC, and Eurosport will be the promotor.

    If Ford pull out too, maybe they'll make it a one-make Citroen championship. Best man wins!

    And if both Citroen and Ford pulls out the WRC might be interesting for a change.
