2025 WRC News & Rumours

Weird they turned down Ogier to WEC but are supporting Kalle to SF. We will see how that goes.

[BlueStrike]

Well, all I have to say is "Holy fuck." I guess that solves the Solberg conundrum.

All the best to Kalle, he should still be young enough to make that switch.

[TypeR]

Worst kept secret is out.

One would assume this frees up a seat for Oliver?

Hope he will get Pajari's seat.. showed almost nothing with no pressure

[flat_right]

So Tänak replaces Kalle and Oliver replaces Ogier. Am I right?

Nope.
Kalle out- Oliver in.
Tanak retires.

So Tänak replaces Kalle and Oliver replaces Ogier. Am I right?

In all likelihood, this may mean Elfyn Evans will remain as the senior full-timer, and Ogier as the dependable star-man on a part-time basis.

Oliver Solberg should slot-in as the team's third driver with Katsuta and Pajari operating outside the official team entries when Ogier is present.

This is definitely now a change for Tänak

Damn can’t edit on phone.

Wanted to say chance not change.

I’m not surprised at all about this decision. He has looked so unmotivated all season long

[Odd]

For Tänak the only chance at TGR WRC would be if Evans does not get a new contract. In my opinion at least.

[Rallyper]

Stars like Kalle has always been going new ways. Testing their possibilities and skills in new surroundings. And let´s hope he will be happy with racing for a while.

But I put it here already: Kalle will eventually find out that rallying is his thing. And coming back to WRC within 4-5 years, maybe even earlier....
