That there was some flirting going on from M-Sport side was quite obvious. I think Neuville management is using this to put the pressure on Hyundai.

I would stay at Hyundai, hoping/knowing next year's car is fast enough from the start.
Is one person is able to judge if the new car is gonne be good it's Thierry himself. If car wil be as fast as the present one, then hope Malcom finds a decent partner..

Because Ford/M-Sport are not winners, and have not been for a very long time.

No, Stobart, Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Ford at some extent left (ran away) when MSport cars were still winning.

I dont understand this rumours when Thierry has still agreement with Hyundai...

Apparently his contract has a 'get-out clause' at the end of this year.

New car sales in 2014:

Australia: 1,113,000
New Zealand: 126,000

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to work why the manufacturers, promoter and FIA would choose Australia....

Looking at it from Australia, no one knows what rally is. There would have to be a fan base of perhaps 30,000 or less people that are into Rally, let alone the WRC in Australia. TV figures in viewers? Maybe 5,000 people.... Or less!

People are buying Toyota, Hyundais and Fords in Australia plus VW's but those companies don't push the sport or rallying in their brands... Shame but for a rally, NZ is my pick over Australia any day...

[Franky]

My relatives attended NZ in 2004 or 2005 and they said that rally didn't seem to be a high profile event for the general audience/media.

In motorsport there are no contracts existing WITHOUT a get-out-clause... You're out before you're in, you're in before you're out...
