    Could very well be OT racing`s car aka ex. Ostberg. Or even if M-Sport, it`s something but won`t help much.

    No, it’s announced to be M-Sport and they tweeted it as well

    Snow rally as your first WRC event is a brave move. Very difficult to read roads and gel with a co-driver in the snow. I hope he does well and loves it! We need more drivers to help the sport.

    Every finn knows how to drive in snow and ice. Prob easier with studded tires in ice than gravel rally with changing grip.

    So he´s doing for free from MW? No, doubt that.

    Maybe if he´s hiring the car from Estonia, or something, but then it´s not MSport Ford WRC...

    Of course paying for his ride but not becoming M-Sport’s sponsor

    There was a time when one of the leading F1 drivers in the world would not have had to pay for an outing in a rally car.

    That's another Monster Energy 'athlete' joining the M-Sport customer list... https://www.monsterenergy.com/gb/en/...altteri-bottas

    With all that fuss about amateurs driving WRC '17 cars, it'll be interesting to see if anyone has anything to say about Bottas making his rallying debut in one... He should take it steady.

    Bottas should do okay if he does not chase the more experienced rally men.

    Bottas versus Mr Herbert in CrossKarts on snow/ ice.
