2023 WRC News & Rumours

I randomly quote Richard Hammond here: they're Italian, they're just lying

Mikkelsen was testing RedBull Dakar buggy in Abu Dhabi just a week ago. Think it was the same one he drove last year as a last minute replacement.

With no Skoda and seemingly no Ford options, I wonder if we'll see Andreas at all in 2023....

New regulation here :

- Confirmation of 21 days of test for each team
- Service for retired car (rally2) to 4h can be splited in 2 sections
- Penality for each stage missed due to hybrid system issue : 2min instead of 10min

That testing day cutting is so fking stupid, no wonder new teams don't want to join.
If teams have gone to testing places already, then let them test for extra 1-2 days ffs.

Rather check the thousands of kms of liaisons driver for 2km SSS etc.

Testing days are the only place where teams can check and set thing right during the season.

I would recommend that only 1 engine per season and 10 tires per rally.

They can still test all they like at their permanent test base.

This is a restriction that can only help to bring things closer competitively.

Comparing costs of test days with liason kms in one post is as ridiculous as it gets.

Maybe ERC and desert rally, or maybe ERC + rallycross?

A swedish site "motorbloggen" claims "sources" says Greensmith looks to the 4th yaris , and Mikkelsen is possible in msports 3rd car?

Regards Mikkelsen vs M-sport.
If Loeb do 3-4 rallies, Mikkelsen can do the rest, both in RB livery.
And, most important business wise for M-sport, he knows better than anyone in M-sport what they need in theire Rally2 car.
