[WRC] News & Rumours (part V) 2017

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Good point! If he didn't put those stories up on Autosport; there would be absolutely nothing about the WRC at all for weeks during the summer break. The WRC thread on the Autosport forum quite often drops of the first page because not enough people are interested. The WRC is a hard sell here in the UK; not helped because the sport is mainly invisible.

This is spot on. Be grateful, at least someone is writing about WRC.

And those people that see these articles in such a negative way, why not just ignore them ? We dont need this view expressed every time some of us want to discuss them.

As for the Ford / M-Sport issue, there is no doubt that Ford is getting a good deal. But that may be just for this season. If Ford dont come back and invest serious money then I dont see the M-Sport success story going much further in the WRC.

Without more money from the manufacturer:
1. their best driver(s) will leave and
2. the Fiesta WRC wont progress.
