Any news on Ostberg?

He confirmed a 2017 WRC drive a few weeks ago. Expect him in Sweden.

Until then I will drive Rally Sigdal and Rally Finnskog, two winterrallies in the Norwegian Championship, in the Adapta Motorsport Fiesta R5.
I will get back to you with further info regarding my WRC programme when all details are in place.

Only M-Sport can provide Private cars. Expect more privateers soon. As i said in WRC Trophy, that trophy is a farce. Prokop, Bertelli,...

Can M-sport change the third driver rally to rally?

Can M-sport change the third driver rally to rally?

Yes even second driver can be changed. Only first driver is nominated for 10 or all 13 events?

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).

That's nice to hear. It would be harsh to not let him compete in a car he has tested and helped develop.

Ostberg/Prokop to form two-car privateer team with M-Sport from Sweden -
