[Sal yet again]

As Dirty Harry said a man's got to know his limitations and Craig found his this season. Good in the choir never the soloist though..

Oh jeez

Mr Malcolm(I believe he is in this forum), please announce next years line-up.. Rumour are so high in the space already

Monster Energy is following M-Sport in Instagram, but not any other wrc team or driver(except O.Solberg)


Ps, Block is driving previous I20 in the states and HMSGofficial has been posting videos/photos of him quite a lot lately..

Wonder if there is any real facts behind this, would be awesome tho

I really hope Craig can find his form and prove all the doubters (including himself at this stage) wrong.

I can't sit here and defend him completely. It's clear he had a poor year and did stuff we all didnt expect but it's also clear M-Sport were trying to run on a real shoe string, even worse I would say than in previous years and it just did not work for either party.

I hope both M-Sport and Craig's fortunes improve as IMO the sport needs them both.
Certainly as an Irishman I will continue to back Craig to the end, he is genuinely a nice guy and a good character

But I guess Block cannot use his Hyundai anymore in ARA because the regulations changed?

Monster Energy in WRC with Solberg-Block-RedGrey.... ?? THAT would be a blast.
Im getting more and more into the Rally-Raid/Dakar thing but this would push me back to 100% WRC in a heartbeat haha

Interesting, but i do not see it competitive idea - nevere ever the private team ( excl. Case with pseido-private Cronos for Citroen, in 2006) has had in its possesion the latests developments and value of resources comp to factory teams. I give this idea 8/10 for guts to challange factories, but 3/10 for possibility to fight for any of titles. If Tanak really did this, the n business took over the common sense.

I am sure that if in some miracle scenario this team get real and there will be at least some theoretical chances for title through, there will be 100% support from MSport regarding latest development - but as we all aready know in the start is MSport limited on this topic in comparision with full factory teams.

This sounds a bit crazy to me. And I thought Tanak wanted to spend more time with his family and part-running a private team isnt going to allow that.
