Silly Season 2015

[Jack4688`]

Spanish press say Sordo has a deal for 10 rounds.

The commentators mentioned that in the power stage covereage - apparently Luis Moya said as much. But obviously no confirmation from Hyundai themselves.

Do you think it will be better with Hirvonen next year and possible to compete with VW-boys?

No. But then who will? It'll have to be someone pretty impressive to put a dent in the VW dominance.

Yes he did a good job here in Spain but it's one of the highlights this season what was general speaking not a good year, specially if you look to the difference in (stage-)times and when you look at his results compare with his teammate Evans.

True, we must compare him to Evans who is in his debut full season - so you would expect him to be miles ahead of Evans. But still he is the best of the rest. I think it's unfair that his position in the standings has gone unnoticed. He may have had no podiums up until RACC but but he's been consistent (albeit consistently underwhelming and average), which is why he's taken home enough points to get to 4th.

In my view Hirvonen will retire and a new job could be to develop the new Toyota WRC if they get the green light from the headquarters. Or to move on like Petter in to the WRX.

Another tid-bit from the commentary from the power stage is that Hirvonen is determined to stay in the WRC next season. He won't leave without putting up a fight.
