    Would be great if someone decent (Mikkelsen) can get a reasonably funded programme together to run it next year. Always better to have more good drivers/cars out there competing.

    No chance for good results as there is no development on the car during the last year and half...

    Anyone who can properly translate the main things in this article for Rally Sweden? I think they talk about having spectators on a few public areas only?

    They were still running tests 12 months ago and new parts are to be homologated. In addition, the other teams had some months of testing ban this year.

    It'd be great but it sounds like as the private '17 Polo sequel...at the time the other manus refused a single car entry (homologation can only be valid if a 2 cars entry for the whole season is made on behalf of the manu).

    Other Manus shouldnt object as its likely the C3 will still be off the pace.

    And given the doubt about Hyundai's future, having any more cars/teams in WRC should be seen as a good thing for eveyone.

    I hate reading stuff that makes me think - Shit! maybe he's right.
    Heck - is it really possible? I wonder if the FIA have a plan B to keep the series running in some capacity, or at least the balls to treat whatever happens as a fresh start - i.e. changing the regs before the inevitable happens.

    Yeah, I think if they can have the new stuff it’ll be better than people think it will. I am equally sure there will be no championship threat, but occasional good results on certain rallies won’t be out of the question. Also what effect will the switch to Pirelli have? Will it favour one team more than others? Nobody knows...
    Will the others object to it being homologated? Not sure, but it’s different from the Polo situation as everyone including the other teams thought that at the beginning of 2017 the Polo would have been the best overall car.
