Its some ifs and buts, but i am quite sure we will see some norwegians in a polo WRC next year.

Would You? Why?

He usually does well in Monte. Seems to have a habit of having mechanical difficulties there but if his car stays clean I reckon he will be among the leading times.

MH: How many cars are you planning to build, which then leads to another question, what is the latest situation about privateers being able to use 2017 cars?

MW: Obviously I want to, and I need to try and build as many 2017 WRC cars as we possibly can. Privateers with approval from the FIA can drive them, but I can tell you that current people in WRC, people like Lorenzo Bertelli, Martin Prokop, Henning Solberg, all these sort of people, then there is no issue from the FIA’s side of having these sort of people in the car.

MH: How many 2017 cars will you run at Monte Carlo?

MW: Three, but that is not guaranteed for every event, but I hope to. If you don’t run three 2017 cars and you have to run a 2016 car, as far as I understand it, the driver of the 2016 cars will not be eligible to score Manufacturers points

Have we seen such rollcage before?

2017 cars use the same old T45 type rollcage, which has been used for many years. 2 tube connected strut mounts to center x and it looks like double x
