Petter building new premises at their house in Torsby, to accomodate a factory team one day

Nitpick:
Solbergs don't live in Torsby, rather like 30 km outside on the border with Norway. Basically in the middle of nowhere.

They have a workshop and car museum on two different spots in Torsby itself. One of the articles says they are moving all the things in town to one new location, but that's 100% not at their house.

Welcome back!

Very good news for Nico and also good thing for Loubet. He was reading the notes for Gino Bux in this year's Belgian Championship and now steps up again to the WRC. He has enough experience to make this work. Welcome back and i am sure they will do great together.

MSport best possible lineup:

Tanak, Mikkelsen, Loeb (some starts), Loubet, Solberg, Greensmith (the last 3 paying) - anyway this is never going to happen

MSport "worst" possible lineup:

Greensmith, Loubet both paying and Loeb starting a few rallies


--------------
Quite large gap between those two extremes, but judging by experience of last years I expect reality to be rather close to the "worst" one.

[AnttiL]

Best possible would be something like Rovanperä-Tänak-Ogier/Loeb. Just as fictious as your suggestion

[seb_sh]

And the worst is actually Greensmith and Loubet/Serderidis/Bertelli in a second car depending on who pays which rally.
