Why he agreed do this, he will only embarass himself.

so much pain after 2 years?

[lewalcindor]

Loeb won 4 stages in France 2013. He was just 3.5s behind Ogier, and 5.0s off the lead before he went off the road on SS15. That's pretty close in my eyes.

Indeed. But let's not let little things like "facts" and "what actually happened" cloud the narratives that we choose to believe.

Great news!

[christy but]

does that mean ostberg or who ever will be meekes teammate in 2015 does not rally in monte ??

[dodge33cymru]

Depends, do we know which 4 rounds Khalid is running yet?

If Ostberg isn't running this one, it would tally with the rumour that he was offered 10 rounds and maybe Seb will do the other 2 too (not sure the WTCC calendar is public yet, but I'm sure the teams will know).

Otherwise, perhaps the third car is to be shared between Al Quassimi, Loeb and Kubica?

Either way, it would indicate that Teams Classification and rally wins are the target, rather than the drivers' championship.

Good to see the car developing further and benefitting from the WTCC programme too.

http://www.nesteoilrallyfinland.fi/en/41760.aspx They are official car sponsor of the event indeed. But I guess it's something between the national importer of Mercedes-Benz and the Finnish federation, and it has little to do with Mercedes getting involved in rallying. Also rallye-magazin.de has a long history of publishing crap-articles.
