Superb perfomance. He simply obliterated the opposition on Friday. I think you will see more of Meeke with WRC going S2000. He is stunningly quick, always has been.
If he has had one fault in the past it was never allowed himself to being beaten by anyone. You can be sure of one thing, if Hanninen is quicker, even if it is the Skoda that is quicker, Meeke will not take it laying down.

Yes he's not bad is he.
If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

Well, Guy Wilks thinks he is faster than Meeke and Hanninen!
To be honest, I would be surprised if Meeke was faster than Hanninen on gravel, but yes, it is stupid to say that Hanninen will be much faster when we haven't seen any recent comparison between them on loose surfaces.

What are the plans of Mr Meeke in 2012 ?
Is he still under Prodrive contract, but will not drive any WRC rallies for them ?
Are there any plans from Mini to drive a RRC/SP version of the Mini in IRC ?
If he are not in Prodrives plans, why does he not leave, and try to get something else together ?

I think maybe if there is 5% chance of getting another free rally in a top car then he will stay put. I dont beleive Kris from what I read has the ability to paying a ten thousand euro tyre bill for an event or even to hire a top spec car so thats why he stay in place now.
Where else is he going to go, maybe Volkswagen but I think his chances there would be poor since they evaluate so many and already have one expensive driver, they may choose to go for a free but relatively unproven fast new comer or they might take on the like of Dani if he brings money.

Kris is a very rare commodity in rally these days; he is both a smooth/fast driver and a trained mechanical engineer. It would be sensible for any team that wants to develop its cars to hire him asap! However, I read he has a contract with Prodrive for 2013. As it appears there are no better offers I think he would probably sit tight this year and try to be part of whatever Prodrive do next year. I hope he will do GB at least this year.

He can put on good drives when he wants to.
That is a very creepy video that makes for slightly uncomfortable viewing. I saw something similar in Rally NZ 2002 where a weird old guy started fiddling with the nuts off one of Marcus Gronholm's tyres. Marcus didn't ignore him like Kris does here. He went off his nut and used some very sharp language.
