    Meeke, together with Derek Brannigan reading the notes, will join already confirmed special guests Mikko Hirvonen and Craig Breen, while the final Rallylegend 2018 entry list is still a work in progress. The event nevertheless promises to be something special, with an array of very special historic rally cars and big names from the rallying world both past and present. With a constant flow of entries coming in, registration remains open until Monday 17 September.
    As for the 50th anniversary of Martini Racing in motorsport, a milestone that will be celebrated at Rallylegend, a whole host of initiatives are planned, with a number of special guests set to attend, great champions who wore the blue-sky blue-red-white colours of the Martini brand, both in rallies and on track. Miki Biasion was one of the first to accept the invite and will be joined by a number of big names from the worlds of rally and track.

    I still think negotiating with Lappi is just a backup plan in case they don’t get Ogier

    Getting both would be very good business, but naturally they'd go for Ogier if they can't get both.

    Really not sure if its realistic to get (pay) both Ogier and Lappi. Maybe it's more of a backup plan in case Ogier doesn't sign. In that case it sounds like good idea, unlike last year when in Matton's own word they let Mikkelsen go to focus on Ogier and ended up not signing anyone.

    Anyway I repeat whan i wrote earlier. For the championship it's now important that Citroen gets good lineup and good results so that they stay in the series. Msport is not going to leave even with a weak lineup.

    RAS007. Nothing ridiculous about the statement at all.
    It was reactionary to a claim that, despite being gifted the resources and opportunity to contest the title for 10 years, a competitor was denied their only chance to have their name engraved on the champions cup because a team manager failed to slow another competitor down on one singular event and that, consequently, it was the manager's fault, and not the competitors, that he never became champion.
    If you're looking for the ridiculous I suggest you look right there.

    Now with all the talk about dropping Corsica for Japan, OK. That's it. But why Germany?? and bring Chile in. Then we have 1 tarmac rally less again. 3 in total and what 12 of gravel... That's not right. And two of that 3 rallies is mixed surface so one only proper tarmac (except if kinezi instead surprise us all)...

    Japan in --> Corsica or Deutschland out
    Chile in --> Turkey or Sardegna out

    Gravel/Tarmac balance stays

    Rally winner, PS winner and current 4th in the championship needs "years of development"... Guess there aren't too many complete drivers then to start with.
