Silly Season 2024

[240RS]

For the sake of the sport, I sure do hope that M-Sport can get someone close to being an A-lister next year. Clearly there aren't many, but it would be a massive disappointment if we go back to a definite two team championship.

But maybe if M-Sport leaves, it would be finally wake up call for FIA.

maybe Wilson offers some rally1 deal for Solberg?

[Kras]

Hopefully. That would make it worth it atleast

[Andre Oliveira]

The only way to M-Sport be in title run for 2024 is hire Neuville or Evans.

This would be a good deal for M-Sport for sure. They need someone like him now with Tanak gone.
But for Oliver will he really take the risk, it would be safer to stay in a Rally 2 car.

Maybe a mix of some Rally1 outings alongside a WRC2 Championship campaign might work for both parties.

Otherwise I don't see where M-Sport are going to find someone who can be competitive unless they tempt Loeb for a few events.
Not an ideal situation for either them or the WRC promoter in my view.

M-sport is in a difficult situasion.

Its eighter Evans or Lappi, or do some gambling with Mikkelsen, Solberg, Rossel, Gryazin, Fourmaux or Loubet.

Is Redbull following Tänak?
Solberg is monster, maybe not both in the same team?

Personal i think Solberg is driving Toyota Rally2 car next year in "PSWRT", as a pre-build for a potential subaru-comeback.

Why would any top driver go to Msport? Neuville is signed up at Hyundai and Evans is at the best team/car combination. It would take Evans to make a Tanak esque cock up and silly career decision to see him back at msport.

The best msport can hope for is Loeb doing 3or4 rallies, with red bull still ploughing money in and Loubet/fourmaux taking an unexpected jump in performance.

I can't even see Lappi wanting to return to msport, after how he was managed last time he was there.

Punt on solberg? But then you maybe lose the red bull backing.....

If msport has no chance to win anything anyway, they might as wel go with something like solberg and pajari. That was the old business model of wilson, giving youngsters a chance and selling them off later in their carreer.

Still no news for Ogier stay in Toyota or leave to Hyundai, How I hope he can join for Hyundai
