So there is scope for VW to retain at least one driver if they wanted to be primary tester on the R5 car. Same as Abbring has done for Hyundai.
Only thing is that will not satisfy either of the current 3 drivers.
VW has Depping as test driver, but I think they can get others who developed the Fabia R5 too (Loix, Baumschlager, etc.) for much less money than keeping either of the three around.
Does Rally Finland always announce the route so early?
I'm waiting for the Rally Portugal one, which is two months before Finland. It's quite frustrating when you are trying to plan your trip.
If I remember correctly, they used to announce the route at the end of February or early Mars. It´s early but sooo nice...
