[WRC] News & Rumours 2018

4 car teams whilst expensive for the teams would be so good for the sport. more seats, more drivers.

Paddon sticking with the team in 2018 despite probable reduced programme

Looks like Hyundai will run their own team championship. They will compete against each other to get next drive... What a morale or maybe motivation to get the good results? I don't know. What if 2 of their drivers will deliver poor results will they promote Huttunen like they are that muh desperate? And bloody fix that suspension. Don't blame all on drivers, deliver them a good machine...

I dont really understand it considering they stood by Theirry so staunchly during his slump, and now they bugger both Paddon and Sordo. I can understand the need for results I guess. The best thing would be for Paddon and Sordo to switch between the WRC car and WRC2 for their non nominated rounds... Because otherwise not only does it hurt Paddon in particular for 2018, it has an effect on 2019 too having missed tarmac development potentially.

just give manufacturers points to whoever finishes in a car of that manufacturer, independent of which team they are in.

that would push the ones going for the title to use more cars, without making it to expensive for the ones who don't want to.

Not gone, just not sponsoring a car.

They still intend to supply a WRT with tyres for one car. There are events where their tyre can win and provide good Manu points.

You're believing their spin.

They're gone.

the financial issues have been long rumoured, and now it's obviously time to stop....

TEAMS & DRIVERS:

So much confirmed information and speculation/product of imagination combined. The 2018 teams was created for that.
