Best rally in the championship, all the other rounds are just filling space to make a championship!!

My friend was in greece a few weeks ago in a somekind of HD meeting, he did not see any beggars.

if he was in pigdog city of athens they usually keep foreigners away from the city centre and towards the suburbs so its normal he wasn't attacked for his breadcrums.

Ogier to Ford would have been a nice shift in the usual order these days, but I think he made the best choise. Three-year contract over Loeb's one-year extra deal spells out the future pretty much I think. But Loeb is obviously very important for the DS3's development.

What happens to Sordo, I'm not sure, parttime 3rd driver or the Junior team, in any case it's pretty hopeless for the Spaniard.

he is in the age of ogier and he is still the man to beat on tarmac after Loeb so i guess he has a place in any team...i guess the new deal will demand a few extra euros from his sponsors to cover the full program but i cannot see him and i don't think he will fade.

If Ogier finish before Ford drivers there will be no problem for Citroen points

I wonder about Malcolm's strategy... I doubt that he'll persist on Hirvonen and especially Latvala for the next season...

Well who else is there? Marcus retired, Malcolm took the paydriver option, whilst Citroen developed new talent in Ogier.
Petter, PG, Duval, Atko, some new young kid we haven't heard of yet?
There isn't much out there that can challenge the Citroen line up. As Loeb said if Ford continue to be humiliated like Bulgaria how long will they hang around for?
I reckon Malcolm must be gutted when he found out that Ogier wouldn't be driving for his team.

The only choice for Malcom is to keep latvala/hirvonen in the official team and use the stobart team to actually develop new drivers (like citroen did with junior) rather than serve his useless son and waste them like that, PG is a good start.

Again I agree. Stobart will have PG and why not Meeke. MW has to do something and this could be his winning solution combinded with a reliable and fast new car.

Henning has his own sponsors and will for sure be the third man in Stobart/Ford team.

If not Meeke I think MW has to reconsider Petter.

In any case - which capacity do they have making Fiesta WRC cars for next years first round?
