How do you know so soon? Sometimes you're right, sometimes you're not. I think you wrote some similar things about Paddon a few years ago.

In defence of N.O.T I normally agree with him (not the way he says it though) and don't remember him saying such things about Paddon.

Camilli chosed by Mäkinen’s team? I thought he was driving for M-Sport. And by the way, you don’t know a fuck what Mäkinen’s team is doing.

I think your comment highlights your level of bewilderment. Camilli was originally a test driver for Toyota.

He was hired by TTE. Nothing to do with Makinen.

Correction, it was TMG.

I am always right, its like a natural phenomenon, the sun rises from the east, the earth revolves around the sun and i am always right, the fact that you do not like natural phenomena does not affect the phenomenon.

Well, not right about Camilli hired by Makinen. Foreseeing can always be adjusted...

I also recall N.O.T saying something similar about Paddon. Turned out he was wrong.

The new Focus RS short appearance in Block’s last gymk video https://youtu.be/_hf6ke1-i3E?t=518 is being supposed as his new car for RX championship. Can the Focus also become MSport rally car for 2017?

Btw, it’s somehow shameful, but RB ice show introducing Loeb’s RX season got more exposure on generalist TV than any WRC event…

I'd say no not unless Ford come back with some money? A new base car would surely be a huge undertaking for M-Sport at this stage. That said it would be interesting to see if M-Sport have any involvement at all in this WRX project or if it's moving in-house.

Ford Performance (USA) seem to be heavily involved with this, and why wouldn't they. Look at the number of hits/ views on social media.

There have been no rumours that Ford wish to return to WRC; and I'd be surprised if they did in the near future.
