Exactly. They are negotiating so Mikkelsen will say he is talking with everyone, and Nandan that they don't need Mikkelsen.
I don't believe for a second that they make Mikkelsen test the car just to have a feedback.

In november Ogier asked to test other cars and they refused.

If Mikkelsen is entered for Portugal in a Fabia R5 - with dispensation can this entry later change to a Hyundai WRC?

Yes, you can change both car, class and co-driver, but only one of them.

But to move into a Hyundai he's changing both class and car no?

Would surprize me if Even does not get a phonecall from Matton in the coming days. They are in need of a driver that can start bringing it all the way to the finish, and get them manupoints!

I don't think so. You can't change the entrant I think. And the '17 WRCs must be entered by the manufacturer, so no possibility there.
He's not going to be in a 2017 WRC car that soon I think. It's not that simple, although he deserves it and every team could use him. His only chance is M-Sport with personal sponsors IMO.

Agreed. And he's not willing to pay to drive so M-Sport is no option. I believe he'll get a one-off drive this season and then a proper seat for 2018

"Norwegian ran an i20 WRC Car on the final day of Hyundai's pre Argentina test in Portugal but rolled car at some point during the test, a crash that was not mentioned".
