[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

[itix]

For you who watched the Hyundai press conf., what was said? Any news.
Paddon said the team would sit down and talk to him after the rally weekend was done.

Nothing worth attention, just some PR bullshit. Only one important information is that they're planning to run R5 programme next year.

Ogier visiting the wax museum:

@SebOgier Nice to see @SebastienLoeb today at #IAA2015 Frankfurt!

Nothing worth attention, just some PR bullshit. Only one important information is that they're planning to run R5 programme next year.

Which means we will see them in 2017.

They are planned to run or they are running right now this year and the R5 car will race in 2016?

Can anyone remind me why they decided to go with the 5 doors version?

[TWRC]

Can anyone remind me why they decided to go with the 5 doors version?

"The team had intended to run a three-door coupe i20 for its next generation World Rally Car and had scheduled its debut for the second half of this year.

Road car production problems have now diverted those plans significantly.

A five-door New Generation i20 WRC will replace the current car, but not until the 2016 Monte Carlo Rally."

Ogier is unbelievable... once again silly comments in Autosport

Sebastien Ogier has delivered bad news for his rivals in the wake of securing his third World Rally Championship title - the Frenchman thinks he's still getting quicker.

The Volkswagen driver became just the fourth driver in the WRC's history to win three titles when he scored his 31st world rally win in Australia last Sunday, but he's already looking to improve.

With three rallies remaining this year, Ogier wants to finish 2015 in perfect style.

"For me, we are just getting stronger and stronger," he said.

"I don't know if we're on the top, but probably we are close to it. I would not say I am, I don't want to be arrogant in this moment.

"I keep thinking, 'what I can make better and what can I improve?'

"I still have doubts, but this is only human - it's important to have that doubt, it helps to make yourself better.

"It's difficult to make a better one than this season and the target is to keep it at this level.

"After 10 rounds this has been the perfect season so far: no major mistake with Julien [Ingrassia] and only a single, small technical problem in the car - this is nothing in motorsport.

"For now, we can only think about making the statistics better and keeping this level until the end of the season.

"My target is to finish the season with no mistakes. I don't think this has ever been done, three races to go..."

The WRC returns to Europe for the next round, the returning Tour de Corse, which starts on October 1.

From what I've understood the R5 car will race in 2016. It's weird, cause we haven't seen any picture of their R5 car yet. For example Skoda has been testing Fabia for more than a year.

Loeb have damaged his ego very badly.He is desperate trying to find something that Master havent got as record.


''season with no mistakes''
joke of the year.
