    Tremendous career in rallying and a man who's forever linked to Finnish rally history as well due to believing in one Tommi Mäkinen when no-one else did. RIP.

    I don't get why it says Østberg couldn't score manu points. Is it because Citroen choose not to nominate him?

    The other news in the article is that Hyundai is sending Sordo and not Breen.

    This imo explains why Hyundai withdrew the entry in rally Japan WRC preparatory rally. Loeb didn't want to go and they had no other "tarmac" driver with i20 WRC experience.

    Huh, didn't know it was tied to manu nomination.

    That also means Tideman, Paddon and Greemsmith can't do that next year. Not sure MSport or the drivers thought of that when MSport nominated them.

    66.4.4 For Manufacturers, 7 additional test days may be allocated to each team in addition to Art. 66.4.2.
    These additional days will only be applicable to guest drivers who have not been nominated to score points
    up to the requested testing date in the Manufacturers Championship in the previous or current year. Teams
    should advise the FIA of any guest drivers’ test, by email, five days in advance, with copy to all other
    registered teams (no test form required). The test must comply with articles 66.1 and 66.2
    This wasn't really a thing before the test days were reduced for 2019. Originally it was meant for actual guests like, say, Petter Solberg or Marcus Grönholm to do some development on the car.

    It's OK, they've got Matthew Wilson.

    Because he's less likely to take points off the top driver's there. Plus they probably dont have the budget.

    Does budget count? So he has to pay if going to Aus and give points to Ogier? Nope. Don´t believe you.

    I'm saying Citroen dont have the budget to run 3 cars, as Budar confirmed recently. They need that money to develop the car.
