    New Co-driver for Wilson?

    Noticed Matthew Wilson now uses Scott Martin as a co-driver and Michael Orr has gone over to navigate for Al Qassimi?

    I guess the Abu Dhabi deal not only got Al Qassimi a third driver's seat, but it also got him Wilson's co-driver.

    simple answer really. Scott Martin is Matt Wilson's original co-driver from 2004-05. He was planning on retiring due to a number of factors (heavy accident in BRC Wales 2005 being one of them), but changed his mind. However it was too late for 2006, so Michael Orr sat with Wilson in a 2 year deal and Martin sat with several other drivers including Steve Perez, Barry Clark and Mark Higgins. Now the deal is over, Orr moves on and Martin is back.

    Not always a good thing.

    Wilson needs to find 2s/km from somewhere, and its not the codriver.

    What Matt needs is someone to tell him that his place is not in WRC.

    Yeah, but he did beat Atkinson on Rally GB last year, where did that pace come from?

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    i hear about this 'pace' on rally gb. looking at the stage result, he didnt set a better than 7th, suggests that indeed atkinson was driving something with a much decor ,as a wheel barrow with a flat wheel.

    Matt has now started at least in 30 rallies so far in his WRC career. If there should be even some potential it would have come up already.

    I've always said he needed time to learn and find his own progress but I'm starting to believe, as you said, there's not much more than what we've seen.
    There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!
