Interesting that a 1L 3cylinder turbocharged Fiesta will be used

Hopefully it will sound better than the road car, but it's a Ford so i guess we're used to bad engine sounds from them by now

i hope we won't see VW Motorsport in the WRC after 2016, honestly i prefer to see latvala in toyota, Ogier-don't care about him and mikkelsen alongside Latvala..

If the rumours of Audi quitting DTM and LeMans to enter F1 ( with Alonso) in 2016 is true then I suspect we may not see VW after 2015. It's typical of their way of doing things, huge Dakar effort for a few years dominance then off to new adventures.

I haven't had a chance to drive the 1.0 Ecoboost yet but my colleague had it in a rental Focus last week and the first thing he told me was how strange sound the engine has

VW Motorsport has nothing to do with AUDI sports adventures

Please stop making yourself looking like a fool. Why to blame VW/Audi for doing business? First of all Audi is very loyal to the Le Mans and DTM series. Second: VW quit Dakar to enter the WRC. I don't think VW will leave the WRC within the next three years. They have invest a lot of money and now they have a lot of successes. Yes, they want more exposure and change some rules but it's just ball-game to threathing to leave the WRC if everthing will be the same. Many car-manufacturers have past (or still in) the WRC, some for many years, some for just a few, they all have a good reason and that will always be the case in the future.

I am not making myself a fool - I just re-post what I read on the internet in the news and rumours thread. I am not pretending that my info is real or privileged, it was a simple re-post of info that is on the internet.
