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.
Yes.
Don't forget the current promoter is still obliged to do it's job until 2034 or whenever it is, or if they get wound up or bankrupt first. You'd need that before the FIA chat with...
I'm waiting for the Rally Croatia one, which is two months from now. That's frustrating.
