    He doesn't sound too confident about his WRC future, does he?

    Julian Porter said yesterday he probably would like to do more events, at least all gravel ones. In that interview he also says he should do some tarmac rallies. I agree. Tarmac is his weakest point and if he stops rallying on tarmac altogether he will never get better.

    In All Live Morning studio they raised up the rumor of Meeke going to sign for Toyota or M-Sport during this weekend. He has been on his way to "Wales Rally area".

    I genuinely doubt Meeke will be back. As much as I like him I don't see why a team would go for such a high risk/cost driver rather than anyone else on the current lineup, or Tidemand.

    A wrc team's forensic accountant may have determined the brand value of the publicity generated by Meeke's vehicular inversions are greater than the material loss of equipment?

    From the article "There are also a couple of other smaller events in New Zealand. I (will) try to do a couple of small asphalt rallies in New Zealand just to try and get back in the groove on tarmac." - I only see a couple of sprint events at a few race tracks in NZ that would meet that description, assuming the exclusion of the nz tarmac targa, have to wait and see otherwise.

    Does the Port Hills tarmac rally still run? I think Targa run a couple of shorter events as well as the main one too. But you're right in general, there aren't many tarmac rallies in NZ. A few hillclimbs and street sprints but thats not really the same.

    Speed, exposure, excitement and WRC-level experience.
