Kimi Raikkonen will do 10 rallies, skipping 3. I read some were that he will skip Mexico. Italia and Argentina. Van Merksteijn has adapted his program due to Solbergs full calender and Raikkonens program, that is why he starts in Portugal, and he will skip Sweden and Mexico. So Citroen has a spare DS3 WRC in Mexico, and will have a full house in Portugal with all 5 WRCars?

why raikonnen just 10 ? according to swiss magazines and forbes and the IMF he earned 45 millions (or was it billions) last year.....so why not 13 ? he cannot afford to pay for 2 extra rounds ?

Citroen is asking insane amount of money for renting a DS3 WRC. Petters budget last year was app. 4 million € and they have to pay a lot more this year.

Mexico is long haul event and most probably they do not have any additional cars for this event. Maybe only if you are willing to pay flight costs for the car. Cars for Mexico should be on the ship before the end of Sweden I guess. There are only two and a half weeks to repair the car, customs and for transportation to Mexico. Usually ships leave from Netherlands and it is approximately 10 000km long trip. Average speed of the cargo vessel is usually between 30-40 km/h. So, if we take the average (35 km/h), then the trip on the sea takes at least 12 days+ 2days from Sweden to Netherlands (over 1200 km) +2 days for loading/unloading+up to 5 days for customs +1 day for the land transportation in Mexico (it is over 500 km from the harbor to Leon). So, it is 22 days, you can approximately estimate that the minimum is at least 3 weeks, the rally is finished by then. Originally Posted by alleskids

I like that. Reminds me of the Corolla WRC days
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.
