[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

Interesting about Ogier about the Yaris:

"It was not so good on Tarmac, I agree, but it was better on gravel," he said.

"It was very slippery, so it doesn't help to show the potential, but also in these conditions you can quickly tell what's wrong with the car."

My perception is that Ogier will be closer to Toyota than Ford. Let's wait and see.

Their words are clear ...

"I have the option of one or two years of contract ..." "I want a fast car to stimulate me, but stability is also very important ..."

... "Yaris was not so fast on the tarmac ... but it was on the gravel ..." Justifying that the floor on the tarmac was not exactly in the best conditions to vindicate the potentiality in the car, but the problems he felt are easy to correct...

Analyzing the interview at the words of Ogier and not Malcon, I would say that he is closer to Toyota.

He are being polite. From his words definitely Ford!

That's not what he says.

Don´t wait any VW names from Toyota yet, if they give us a name it will be Lappi.

Btw. Volkswagen: Nasser is driving Dakar, who do you think will drive 2nd car in Monte ? (and who is possible 3rd driver?)
If Qatar/RedBull pay, they want to have team championship trophy!

Don´t you think it is weird that Suninen is testing Toyota all the time, but Lappi has never driven any test just one month before Monte? Just saying. I think the contract with Skoda is over, isn´t it? Maybe contract with Skoda is valid till end of the year, but then it sucks.

Okay, André, if you say that with such certainty, it's because you know more than we do.

Grande abraço!

such a mess this driver moving theme at the moment and this VW private thing...cant wait to get some clarification already but it seems to me that we still have to wait a week.

but all my hopes are for tomorrow.

[Simmi]

This potential VW deal will delay everything I think. Right down to the wire I reckon.

No wonder the Toyota is slow on tarmac, as they only started testing properly on that surface 4-6weeks ago it seems. Difficult to understand why....
