Presuming the Lappi to Citroen thing is true, it does indeed look like Even management are hooking up with them - Veiby's C3 R5 and his overalls are in works colours in Wales too.

Afaik, Citroen was one of the manufactures pushing for Asian competitions because of their market there...

Joukhi said on the stream that Latvala has contract and it will be announced in 2 weeks. Sounds like Toyota confirmation to me.

Perhaps you don't remember that just last year Latvala actually led the championship and was in the fight until Poland. Tanak wasn't realistically in the championship fight at any point.
Before the start of 2017 Meeke was by many considered the main favorite.
Going the other way Ogier didn't have the speed in 2017 at all and many were writing him off for this year. Latvala was written off at the end of 2016 after being 3rd fastest Polo.
and we can continue like that...
Things change. To quote Tanak again, nobody knows how fast any car/driver will be next year. Things can move up/down very fast.
So there is no guarantee whatsoever that Neuville, Ogier, Tanak will fight for championship next year.Last edited by mknight; 7th October 2018 at 21:37.

Agree, If Hyundai cant get it sorted that must be his move to save his career. Love to see him at M-Sport with a full season and a new sponsor? Where is Monster Energy in all this? Red Bull is everywhere in the WRC, Monster Energy going hard in the US in motorsport in general, Nascar, Moto X, World Rally X etc. They are big sponsors of Ken Block and Valentino Rossi when it comes to Rally, but not the WRC? Paddon's hood scoop would go well with the Monster Energy green??
Looked like half-hearted slap if you ask me. That's why I am so amazed that the tube did bend (as pics prove).
