[skarderud]

Mads Østberg is in the studio at the radioshow "parc fermé" at www.radiomotor.no tonight at 19.00.
Tune in for the intervju, in norwegian.

i wrote it politely

Guys with all due respect I don't care about tyres. start another thread.

[EstWRC]

So what did mads tell?

[dodge33cymru]

Adapta

Surely if that were the case (family team), there wouldn't be much need for secrecy or much in the way of contracts etc.?

With all the rumours about Bertelli, M-Sport and the Tanak and Evans scenario, I imagine it's there.

So what did mads tell?

Sorry, next week! Before weekend it was ready for a presentation, but something wasn't ready.

But european champion in RX s1600 Mats lysen do rally next season, Ole Christian veiby do RX in Argentina, but rally is his main focus next season too.

Won´t be any news - Ostberg goes back to M Sport (and doesn´t raise the level there).

[EstWRC]

i think Ostberg-Tänak line-up would be pretty good, basically like Ostberg-Meeke was. Ostberg-Evans line-up would be a nightmare IMO in the sense that both are solid point scorers and finishers but they don't have that raw speed like Meeke and Tänak. And i remember very clearly that Wilson this year has said many times that he is only interested in wins, good luck with that if you choose Ostberg-Evans.

[skarderud]

I think the Ford suits Mads better than the Citroën. He was much closer the winner in the Ford back in the days, so i'm quite sure he is still the best not vw in the end of next season too. What else can you ask for in a Ford when vw is totally out of reach?

[dodge33cymru]

And yet he was the first non-VW last year, both in the championship and on many events. I think the VWs' level of advantage has given him a worse reputation than he deserves.

[EstWRC]

Points wise yeah but speed wise he wasnt the best non-VW. im not saying that Meeke or Tänak would 100% win with m-sport but the chance with them is bigger.

Yeah Mads was great with Ford back in the day but for me it seems he reached his peak, from then on others have progressed while he he hasn't.

Anyway like i said, i think Ostberg-Tänak line-up would be strong but we will see what Wilson decides.
