Mads Ostberg

[Rallyper]

Ten rounds was what´s said right after or days before RGB if I´m not wrong. Could be a rumour but if I remember the quote looked quite serious. Maybe words from Matton, I don´t know?

Mads is only 26 years old.

He has had to fund his career nearly all the way so you can imagine the stress. He has had problems with cars, and suffered with pacenotes causing accidents before.

It would be great for him to have the confidence of a paypacket and knowing he could have the confidence in pacenotes again, but it is a tough gig when you know that if you crash, your career is on the line.

But isn't his family providing the funds? It's not as if he's knocking on doors looking for money.

His dad runs a computercompany, but he has been sponsored by companies like coca cola, vi menn (a mens magasine), and a lot of others thru the years.

I've never thought "yep, he's the next WRC star".

There is a lot of poster child mentality in the sport today, some seats I feel were a little "gifted" to some. The amount of stand out talent today is 5 times what it was back in the 90's in my opinion.

Being privileged enough to have been able to follow Mads from the early days i would definitely say I've been impressed, he was always awesome to watch on the stages and the fight between him and Mikkelsen in 2008 was incredible.

I put together a Subaru video of Mads a couple years ago so you can have a watch yourself, 238.000 views says it all i think
The Ford video only getting 6000 views must have something to do with the car i think

Mads excited to go out with the news for 2015 later today

No one can take anything away from Mads being a good enjoyable driver whom is enough fast and spectacular on stages. He wouldn´t be where he is otherwise.

Exciting hearing him confirm one more year at DS (Citroen)!
