2016 Silly Season

[tommeke_B]

Too late to join WRC for 2017. I mean, not for testing and build car (they will have a base with DS3), but there are not even rumors or nothing that could make us speculate about their return. Although it would be great of course.

Peugeot, DS or Citroën, it's all the same with a different logo.

Peugeot even didn´t manage to build a reliable R5 car, so forget them.

You don't decide drivers future on the outcome of one event - you do it over the whole season. Have they both done enough to warrant a seat next year? Once you've answered that you make a decision. Then you see who is available - and willing to join ( or who has the £$£$£$/ sponsorship)

My bet/wish for 2016: Meeke goes to Hyundai; Neuville goes to Citroën or Ford just for one season, entering Toyota from 2017; depending on Neuville choice, Kubica gets a seat at Ford or Citroën.

Your bookmaker must love you!

Story's coming up that M-sport may use Dmacks next year.

Hopefully this is not true as these new Fabias would be faster than WRC Fords.

Hopefully this is not true as these new Fabias would be faster than WRC Fords.

Dmacks took a new boss from Pirelli with years of experience, I think it could be a good bet. DMACK could give the money they need for a better driver and if they will deliver good tyres it could become very interesting.
Maybe it is a gambling but they've nothing to lose so..

BTW I hope they keep Tanak. I know that in two season he didn't deliver too much but still, I don't know why, I see something in him, it's like his raw speed could come up and begin to be consistent in any moment. It's more a sensation than a rational thinking but I think it would be good to keep him another year, just to be sure to have not wasted a talent.

You are right AL14. In the article there was also that Dmack wants to enter the championship with a current leading WRC team so it could mean they will already enter with M-sport next season (yeah i know M-sport actually isnt a leading team). And if it will be so then one of the drivers will be definetly Tänak because he has got the experience with Dmacks and with a WRC car.


Nice to see that im not the only one who sees something in Tänak. We all know his speed but the question is about consistency but like you said it may come anytime and i think it will come if he gets more experience. His second half this season has actually been quite consistent, he lost a lot of points due to unlucky incidents in the beginning of the season. He and Paddon have had quite a similar season IMO but Paddon gets the praise all the time and Tänak not.
