[WRC] News & Rumours (part V) 2017

So now we knows that Mikkelsen wont drive POLO WRC at Sweden.
Quessing what he will do now - D-mack or season with Skoda?

Didn't the rumour shift to money from Ostberg/Mikkelsen for this programme. I think it was pretty obvious that Qatar weren't stumping up the cash without Ogier.

Can't see it happening to be honest - not even next year

Is there any more on the story of Rally Germany leaving Trier. I'm just looking at booking accommodation. Cheers

Monte entry list is out this friday (6.1), that should give some clues...

Entry out today confirming Evans in 3rd M-Sport car.

AutoHebdo (French Magazine) says that Camilli will do all 13 rallies this year. First 4 with the R5 car and then later with a 2017 WRC (depending on results and number of cars available).

Good for him, i want to see if he develops or not but i doubt it. I think putting him into a WRC car in 16 has been Wilson's one of the biggest mistakes but he makes it good with getting Ogier for this year.

Nice, thank you for the update.

I do find it odd that there is no official PR about Evans and Camilli at this point.

Re Evans - perhaps waiting for the official reveal at the Autosport Show at the end of next week...
