2018 Teams

That guy demands are too high. SO what if he is world champion multiple times. He is clearly making fool of everbody and I would be laughing if no one wants him. Then he would accept and not hesitate like he rule the world... Sorry but many guys dream of being just in any team in wrc...

Shame that no one sees Kajetan Kajetanowicz! He won 3rd title of ERC and still they prefer looking for youngsters who have 2 or 3 ralies in wrc behind...

Kajetan’s performance in WRC2 in Poland wasn’t exactly eyecatching, I can see why youngsters, who potentially can develop more, are more in demand than him.

Yes, you can. Stupid move from Tänak. From the best, fastest and most reliable car to the finnish joke, which is breaking down in every rally. With M-sport he could be champion, with Toyota... Never.

Tanak has gone for the money. Every man and his dog knows that.

He has to just hope that 1) He doesn't take too long to adapt to the car and 2) Toyota improve the car on rougher gravel rallies and the cars general reliability.

For once I agree with Colin Clark, it would be a big gamble by Tanak adapting to a new car & team.

Staying at M-Sport in a car & team he knows so well could be his best chance of ever winning the title.

That sounds really strange to me tbh..

- Can't see Malcolm paying Sordo anything (since he refuses to pay just about anyone).
- Can't see Sordo driving for free/no money either now towards the end of his career (no he's probably not going to end soon, but probably within 2-3 years).

- So the only option is some rich sponsors paying him... who would that be?

Hyundai still has to pay him for 2018 anyway?

Well it's just a rumor Simmi just wrote (haven't seen it else myself).

But if he didn't show up for recce on purpose it's stupid no matter which team he is going to drive for.

Doing recce means getting paid to make notes and record vids of the stages. Having done notes and seen the stages is an asset and only helps in the future.

I'd be very surprised if that was the case, his professionalism and hard work is quite well known.

More likely it just came from someone making up rubbish for attention, thats how a lot of rumours start.

Well did anyone see him in Catalunya? The info came from Julian Porter at a pre-rally fan briefing so I don't think it's some rubbish for attention.

PErhaps he knows he's not doing the rally in 2018.

For sure if he and Dani are sharing a car, Dani would be chosen for his home event...
