Possible participation in any #WRC test privately with said vehicle ?. #WRC We'll see.

Can anyone tell what team is running the test?

That may be just for the end of the season...

The new tyre supplier deal (single supplier) doesn't kick in until 2021....

I hope the MRF money will be worth it... Michelin and Pirelli were strong brands for the WRC to be associated with.

No more achievements of Michelin like “500th victory”... lol unique tyre suplier

A recent interview with @JariMattiWRC
in @hsfi
today.
- He has received an offer from TMR for Sweden and Finland and has "made his decision".
- 200 000e per event
- He's considering Wales but 3 events seems maximum.
- No longer working with manager Jouhki

At least Jouhki leaving is one positive.

At least Jouhki leaving is one positive.

Obviously he cannot pay for Jouhki's services without a works deal. And on the contrary, Jouhki probably doesn't want to "invest" in Latvala at this point of his career.

Latvala seemed quite assured he won't do more than two rallies (Finland and Sweden). Even adding Wales as a third event looked uncertain.
