I wonder if VW will try to save money by not signing Latvala.
I wonder if 2013 will be like when Garde and Kresta were driving the Focus.

My crystal ball sees JML to VW, plus Mikkelsen buying an M-Sport drive for next year, with Petter Solberg staying with Malcolm for 2013 after accepting peanuts as payment.
Al-Attiyah furious for already having a contract with Citroen and thus ruining his chance of becoming lead driver at M-Sport next year."Nada pode me separar do amor de Deus"

Hardly a surprise. With all the issues around promoting the sport why invest millions into something only a small group of people watch. I'd suggest that Ford could be doing a Citroen here...they'll see how the new promotion goes and maybe put some funds M-Sport's way come 2014.
In the meantime M-Sport continues with the Fiesta and people have to pay more for it.
Bad news for Petter I think.:champion: WRC3 championship, WRC4 championship, WRC4 PCWRC, WRC4 ERC

Still plenty of time 'til we know what will happen with M-sport in 2013 season. Even if they don't participate, at their place we will have VW. But I believe Malcolm will somehow succee to make an "M" team. And/or strong team in S-WRC.

If Matthew Wilson had never been put into a 5+ year plan, would Ford still be in the WRC next year?

after that YouTube channel with tons of old rallying videos was 'stopped', now its time for one rallycross YouTube channel to have the same end. https://youtube.com/@rallygreat2660?feature=shared...
