Sordo has had a great year and Hyundai should be laughing for Spain with Sordo and Loeb's road position, but I can't help but feel Breen would've been a better option for Australia. A fast flowing gravel event which Sordo hasn't even done in the last few years, plus Breen has shown he can be quite fast with the i20 (with road position advantage in Finland). He wasn't that far off the pace in Wales either.

Rather surprised to see Kopecky on the list (and with Dresler?)
Is that just in case Skoda haven't wrapped up WRC2Pro manufacturers title?

Nice also that WRC2 isn't a free win for the driver who just enters.
I suppose Hyundai can still switch Sordo for Breen if Sordo wins in Catalynua and gets a good early start position

Or maybe Skoda Motorsport just has some excess budget to spend before ceasing the factory team for good?

spectating
I am looking to go to this event as I will be in Sydney the week before but looking on the website the information on spectating is terrible - only 3 locations on the Friday (and they look bad). Is there any other information available about unofficial places to spectate?
Can't even find route maps anywhere. Any help would be appreciated!

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
