If Breen and Paddon are off to M-Sport it would make sense for Hyundai to use Evans for the events mentioned above and maybe a few others and let Dani tackle the rest. Rumor has it Dani was offered a full drive with Citroen and he turned it down. Not sure if this was before they signed Lappi or what, but it tells us Sordo is just fine doing a few events.

Yes I know, but what do you base that assumption on?
I doubt Kris wants rid of Paul, as he has made only one serious co driving error in many years.
Does Paul want to stop co driving for Kris on the other hand, we don't know yet. Some seriously heavy shunts could possibly play on his mind, but that may be down to driving a dog of a car, he may feel more comfortable going to what seems to be the best car in the championship at the moment, but again we won't know until driver/co driver confirmation has happened.

You misunderstood what he is saying..
He says "they" referring to the people..Subject...then he continued with the verb "if they don't KNOW what good is supposed to be"
He said nothing about technical spec, rather they should KNOW--like possess knowledge---of what good is---and if they don't by this point, they never will.
Understand? Knowing something is GOOD is important even if you don't know all the details.. Knowing what is bad is also important..
And it is an absurdity of fan-based forums to suppose the majority of drivers at any elite level know how the inner workings of things actually work...there are technicians, engineers and mechanics who have the job of "knowing" the "how" of shimming inserts or setting up diffs or cam timing..
But they must KNOW when the car "works" right..they are DRIVERSJohn Vanlandingham

Yes I understood perfectly what he said and meant.
I know drivers are not technicians.
But a driver can, and should, be able to understand how a car behaves, where they can eek out a few tenths under braking, cornering, acceleration etc.
This is why I pointed out drivers with knowledge of current cars.
Case in point. Tanak leaves msport and joins Toyota.
Msport happened to win drivers and constructors championship last season, with the car tanak helped develope.
It has been said that Tanak has lead to developments of the Yaris, that has moved it a little bit away from the liking of Latvala/Lappi.
Funnily enough, Toyota are, at the moment, leading the Manus championship.

Yep, that would be great, but without a major sponsor it’s easier to believe it’ll be Paddon or Breen, rather than both, alongside Suninen. Plus paying drivers (including Block) rotating on a 3rd car.
Btw, what about Abu Dhabi? Will they continue with Citroen, move to another team or pull out from the series?Last edited by Rally Power; 15th October 2018 at 23:59.

Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
