My only hope is we don't get M$ software used in this WRC project. God forbid. Just let them pay the bills.

so, this team is becoming slowly finnish-estonian village team
for example, the rally and recce cars are in our register, Lehtinen asked Andrus Laur to build the service park and he did that, Märtin is running the japanese guys and now in an interview with Mäkinen in estonian press we find out that they are building a logistic centre near Tallinn.
He is saying that finland is becoming too small for them, they have 9 test cars, 10 trucks and Tallinn is a good intermediate station for them and its not far from finland and it saves time. At the moment it is logistic centre but he doesnt rule out that in the future they will also take care of the cars between rallies there.
He also says it has just happened this way that the team is finnish and Latvala is a gift from VW for them.
and because its estonian interview there is of course a question about Tänak
You also wanted Tänak into your team?
Of course! i really wanted to sign him and he would sit in a Toyota right now if he wanted. Unfortunately he is connected to m-sport. He is really good and fast driver, his last season was impressive. I think he has the most potential of the current drivers, he has "sisu"#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

I think they've got pretty much everything planned out. Think they bought the land at the beginning of last month, if I understand the records I found online. It's an empty plot currently, unless they've got all the planning done already and started building.
Mäkinen has seemed to have quite a lot going on in Estonia from the beginning. Starting from MM Motorsport and finishing with Laur, who earlier ran the Eurolamp team.Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

Where did SlowSon say anything about it having to be that way? Its a hypothetical example, get a grip.
Would you have reacted in the same way if the hypothetical example had the genders reversed? By your own reasoning that would be just as sexist. In fact it seems that you're the sexist one here, because nobody else tried to read sexism into a simple comment.

A "family commitment" is the reason been given for Will Creighton's absence from the JCMR so hopefully we will see him out later in the year.
