[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

[Franky]

What about Tanak, is he paid or does he pay to stay in 2017 ?

I think nearly all the Estonian companies would need to join forces to even give someone a chance of a full season in a WRCar. This should answer your question

There is a difference between pay drivers so let me explain since you appear to be quite... basic

Drivers like Ostberg, Bertelli and Latvala would be nowhere near a WRC if daddy or mommy did not pay.

Drivers like Kubica and Tanak would also be nowhere near a WRC but the difference is they offer something to the sport that makes other people pay for them.

Is being that simple makes life harder or easier ?

[denkimi]

thats why he prefers Camilli and Ostberg like drivers.

on the other hand, paying the drivers is a miniscule cost compared to the rest of the budget.

because he rarely crashes of breaks cars, ostberg is a cheap driver. even if they have to pay him.
the cost of a 1 chassis alone is more then an average year salary in the regular world.

That's also a very important factor... I am sure they are insured to some level but I imagine the cost is still huge if a car were to burn out for example.

have you ever heard of the term Insurance ?

Also motorsports and sports in general at the top level do not have much in common with the normality when it comes to budget.

One of the things that i enjoy this forum for is that it makes me feel like i was the offspring of an orgy between Tesla Einstein Aristotle with Curie... you guys are laughable.

i am still waiting for you to show me a stage where a car won without a spoiler and that aero is not important.

funny guy.

M-Sport is a business not a charity.

And a very, very successful business it is, which makes it all the more puzzling that MW won't spend any money on a decent driver. Not sure what the strategy is, but it doesn't include being competitive.

They are competitive, drivers not.

Oh yeah right... Totally forgot about that.
Unless I have been day dreaming, Loeb won a stage without his rear wing once.

I'll try to dig into it... Although it wasn't yesterday so I can't make any promises.

Also you are being utterly retarded and reading into other people's posts as usual... I said that compared to actually having a sorted chassis and suspension, aero isn't that important, not that it was totally unimportant.

... But then again you the special needs person in this forum so I don't suppose I should expect more from you.
