They won't participate in 2017 season but they are making clip like this. I hope it's something with a VW private team.

Livery colours suggesting Qatar & Norwegian flag...

How knows? maybe Nasser has said first i'll do Dakar (contracts are signed already) and strarting from Sweden i'll go rallying a 2017 Polo WRC.

Andreas is welcome in the team, but let's first give him one round in a Skoda (sister team) R5 for Monte. If he finishes and wins his clas doesnt he score point for the general clasiffication also?
Whit the monte not having rally2 would not be a bad idea.

If Ostberg's Adapta funds are ok he can maybe gat a ride to?

Just dreaming, but would be so cool!

With the 2017 VW Polo missing Monte, will it be allowed to compete in the future?

Isn't a manufacturer obligated to enter each WRC event in order to achieve homologation? Why would the other manufacturers allow them a dispensation?

Theoretically You are right, but in the world of big money nothing is impossible so nobody knows

MH: How many cars are you planning to build, which then leads to another question, what is the latest situation about privateers being able to use 2017 cars?

MW: Obviously I want to, and I need to try and build as many 2017 WRC cars as we possibly can. Privateers with approval from the FIA can drive them, but I can tell you that current people in WRC, people like Lorenzo Bertelli, Martin Prokop, Henning Solberg, all these sort of people, then there is no issue from the FIA’s side of having these sort of people in the car.

...

MH: How many 2017 cars will you run at Monte Carlo?

MW: Three, but that is not guaranteed for every event, but I hope to. If you don’t run three 2017 cars and you have to run a 2016 car, as far as I understand it, the driver of the 2016 cars will not be eligible to score Manufacturers points
