    Outside this forum I know more than 10 people who also don´t believe, yet.

    Interesting part is that all those people work in same place here in Jyväskylä or for same company in Tallinn

    Waiting for next week...
    I think that given the impact that the news has had worldwide, someone would have made noises that it wasn’t true by now (as in someone official, not someone’s mate on here).
    That headline wouldn’t have been written unless it was accurate. No matter what people think of Evans.

    Hyundai

    Mikkelsen
    Sordo / Paddon

    Toyota
    Tänak
    Latvala
    Meeke
    Katsuta
    This would be very nice. Ostberg would be perfect as a third Citroen driver, bagging those points, and I hope a deal is struck for another C3.

    I'm with you! No matter what kind of press release TGR is going to publish, I probably won't believe it till I see Meeke actually posting a time on the Monte shakedown. On a Yaris that is.

    Well, looking at Twitter posts, one of the first to congratulate Kris on his Toyota move seems to be an employee of Citroen wrt, that appears to be friends with Kris in some way, so I think it may be happening.

    I guess just because that’s what’s been lined up/ agreed. Don’t think there is anything in it, especially given he’s going to Toyota.
    It also might go some way to clarifying if he actually is still under contract to Citroen or not.

    Fredrik Gustavsson? He is not employee.

    At first I was a bit surprised about this Meek/Toyota thing, but now the more I think the more it makes sense. One thing is that Tanak and Latvala are consistent now, so it makes sense to have someone who can take some wins, even if he crashes out on some of the events. The other thing is Meek was always hired to be #1 (Mini/Citroen), and he did win, but failed to be #1 (fast and consistent). Now he will not be #1 (=less pressure). I think it could work out.

    Kudos goes to Makinen He saw opportunity and took risks.

    Did I hear something about Meeke offering to drive for free a while back ? Maybe thats the attraction to Toyota, or even if its a pay-by-results contract...
