    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.

    But wouldnt that put him in the DMACK car which is the 3rd msport car. Would they turn Evans and Mikkelson down for Ostberg

    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!

    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

    Mads is prepared for road sweeping on 2nd and 3rd day.
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

    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.
