Translation:
'We are also in dialogue with external sponsors who may help to finance this (2017 Polo) with our own funds, although we probably can not add "gold ions" of sums of this year, says the manager.'

So Serderidis last and first in Monte Carlo is better? Privateers do a sacrifice to be there and no media attention. Not a championship, a trophy to they.

There is a trophy! They have one. Serderidis, whom I respect, was there alone in Monte. I would complain with the privateers who asked this trophy for years and now that they have it they're not participating at it.

Prokop retired 8-9 times from WRC, saying that he wanted a privateer trophy and now he's buying a new car. But it's ok, he's free to do it but I hope he will not complain anymore.

[Walach]

He will.

I really wonder why Ostberg & Prokop are so keen to have 2017 cars when they still wont be WRC competitive...

I wonder why do You think they shall prefer to drive outdated cars with which they neither have a chance nor get any attention?

[Andre Oliveira]

Prokop is not a gentleman driver. He is very smart! Goes with speed that allow finish and save material. If he have money to do what all of us wanted too, why not? I am fan of he and of guys like Mads and Henning... only one can win.
