[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

[Rallyper]

Jari-Matti had a very good promotor in Timo Jouhki giving him chances all over again because of his abilities which didn´t always show up because of some failures. So he has´nt been exposed to impatient teammanagers. Maybe only MW back in some years.

However it´s a big difference in taking part in ERC rallies having different stages but to take part in JWRC and PWRC championships doing same stages as the WRC.

BTW 2: "We sent an entry for the Rallye Monte-Carlo today. See you on the stages!" From RK Facebook

If it's true in my opinion already before the start Kubica is in a wrong place...

So he was criticizing M-Sport, left it for Citroën, failed the negotiations with them and ended in a private team with dubious reputation using again M-Sport cars just not the works ones. Do I understand that correct? Anyway it doesn't sound like a win to me.

He closed too many doors and lost. And I wouldn´t bet him doing many WRC rallies in 2015, not even all the European rounds. From my local point of view a start at Jänner Rallye in ERC seems unlikely now, too.

How do you know that? Which doors he closed? Do you have some details about negotiations, sponsors and so on?

[WUff1]

He hat some arguments with M-Sport about the car and talked about it freely to media. And he´s said not to be in good mood with Yves Matton since summer, too.

[thuGG]

I know about M-sport, but the rest is only speculation.

Rumors say, he'll return to M-Sport from Sweden onwards.
