To all of you waiting in excitement for me to announce my 2017 plans; I can confirm that I have a drive for next years WRC in a 2017 spec car. I plan to drive most of the WRC events, but I also have ambitions to drive selected rallies outside the WRC, like I did last year. There are still som details remaining before I can present you with the complete programme for next year. I will keep you posted

I'm not sure if I have got this right, but aren't only manufacturers allowed to contest with 2017 cars? So if Mads drives a few events in a '17 spec, he will score manufacturers points. I bet it's with M-Sport who see him as a wild card in Sweden (only event he does well on) and maybe Mexico and Argentina as well.

Perhaps alternate between Mads and another driver in 3rd car?
Teams with 3 cars will bring socialist drivers ie Mads for Snow and some Gravel
Just like Panizzi was brought in for Tarmac!GG: "I'm stinky! I needa good shower and nice bowl of pasta!"

Manufacturers can enter as many cars as they like - but only three can be nominated for manu points as I understand it. Then the best two actually get the points I think. Really as long as it says M-Sport on the entry and they are serviced together it won't be a problem. Can be a load of Adapta guys, FWRT - whoever. Always a way round these things.

You just have to be entered by a manufacturer, just to show that they approve your entry i guess Originally Posted by BigWorm

Ah, thanks. But should he enter some events with a '16 car, that must mean no points whatever he finishes in? Only for the privateers cup, right.
