[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

Maybe we will see some Safari Delta S4 / 037 thing With teams use two cars (current and 2017 regs).

I just found that Porsche 997 GT3 RS has 1852 mm which is quite close to the new WRC regs.

I still doubt they would go for the max width. In my opinion it's practical only for asphalt of Catalunya or wide gravel events like NORF. How will they deal with ruts on snow from gr.N and small cars? By using crazy wheels sunk deep in the wheel arches? How about narrow apshalt roads of German wineyards or Corsican mountains, how about narrow bridges of El Condor etc.?

That rises one more question - will '17 cars will be that fast, or just not that much depending on circumstances?

Good for you! Employ him instead of Ogier so we can see someone other than VW win for once!
Ogier can go to Msport instead of Evans... that would be interesting.

As someone said a long while ago in this thread, Capito is on drugs again! (was that in connection with him saying endurance was shit? hmmm)

That's the standard TV programme that's available on all TV channels....

I wonder which rally might have to make way for China!
I hope none of the Tarmac rounds and for god's sake not Poland... ...and the rest has too much history/too big following to make way. I am genuinely worried :/

[Martins Tolks]

Sardinia maybe?
