Funny this was what robbed Catalunya in the end, not $audi, as everybody said. It were the Czechbucks!

Quite clear interview from Petter Solberg apparently in Swedish website, no Rally1 for Oliver in 2023; they are looking for support to build a Rally2 program
Also Gronholm in a Finnish interview clearly said Huttunen’s one-off in Finland was a clear failure in terms of money spent and is not happy at all about M-Sport for no compensation (because of mechanical) and sounds short of money.
Clearly reduce the contenders for the last spots available in M-Sport: lets only Loubet, Loeb, Tanak, Greensmith (except gentlemen drivers).
For 4th Toyota, why not a surprise with a driver to help to develop the Rally2 (in exchange for salary to develop it); Hyundai steals them Lappi, why not stealing Suninen.Last edited by Danny0405; 27th November 2022 at 14:14.

Wonder what car they are thinking for Rally2. New Skoda is maybe too fresh (unknown performance) and Skoda already has quite many drivers both proven (like Lindholm) and unproven (Pajari).
They likely want to avoid Hyundai now.
Polo is still competitive, but they won get any money/support from factory.
Could C3 with some support be an option. (but I heard Citroen was kind of pulling out).
Sure Huttunen has all the reasons to be unhappy. Pretty bad advertising for MSport too. Remember Latvala got promised a replacement rally when his car failed early in Sweden 2020. (but then COVID came and he got teamboss job instead

How is Latvala's Yaris WRC issues in Sweden 20' related to all of this?

I don't see any reason why they would drive anything else than Škoda, if they don't to use VW.
Some good live action filmed by On The Limit and with cars at 30s intervals making it really enjoyable to watch: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/royfY3g2z2rYMgEL/
