Guy Wilks actually has secured a budget for 8 events in 2009 but expected to use them for a third SWRT Impreza.

I guess there will be a lot of fighting from the other teams to lure him into one of their cars. A budget for 8 events is enough for one car in an M2 team, so where will he end up? Stobart?, PH-Sport?, Adapta? or a Prodrive Impreza?

My guess would be Stobart or Adapta if they can give him some testing time.

Your guesses?

m2 team or not, it does not matter really, i seems to become a privateers year, many drivers has problem to get a budget, best for him would be to wait and see from where he can get the best car possible, Citroen or Ford, would be good. Subaru i think he should forget, because from there is no future prospect anymore, and its crap car else too.
If he only have money for 8 events, he should drive 6 and use the rest of the money for a good testprogram.

I understood the sponsor money was for WRC, or is it his own money?

Im not aware of the details of the club, but im told its for a % in his earnings. Weather its tied to WRC, or Subaru i dunno. If it is, it could get messy. The problem is can he rely on all the supporters, to switch their allegiance to another championship. Eitherway, as an investor, would you rather chase IRC or WRC for a paid drive, to get some money back?
