[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

[dimviii]

Internal competition is scheduled to Citroën from Rally of Portugal among the drivers competing with DS3 R5 in WRC2 is taking shape. In addition the winner will contest the Catalunya Rally of Wales and a Citroen DS3 WRC, already they revealed some of the names that will participate in this kind of unofficial one-make trophy that will perform the signing of the two chevrons. Including the return of an old acquaintance.
Along with Quentin Gilbert, Yoann Bonato, Karl Krudda and Sébastien Chardonnet, also is the return of Evgeny Novikov, who has two seasons away from the World Rally Championship after running in 2013 as a pilot of M-Sport. After two years away from the stages of the World Cup, in which he has even made the work of co-pilot in Russia, Novikov seems determined to go back and choose to drive a DS3 WRC against protected Citroen (Chardonnet and Gilbert) seems a good first step.
The Russian, 25 also have been tempted by Tommi Mäkinen (as reported in the paper edition of the French AUTOhebdo) to try one of the Toyota Yaris WRC for next season. If anyone missed Evgeny Novikov, it seems to be back.

What's the deal with Novikov? He was last in the championship the year before I followed WRC. He seemed to produce decent results and was fairly young, but completely disappeared from the WRC landcape.

The only things I remember about him are (i) he uses English pacenotes with co-driver Ilka Minor, and (ii) his bonnet flew up and blocked his windscreen one year at NORF, and he decided to continue driving instead of stopping to fix it, "oblivious" to the fact that Kris Meeke was literally right behind him for a few kms.

The only problem is he crashes too much..(watching Alsace 2011, Denis wasn't amused)
