Kris Meeke leaves WRC
Talented British driver Kris Meeke has decided to leave WRC. He said he is sick of the current situation in this championship. He said WRC is a place where only money is important and not talent. He was offered a season in PWRC, but he rejected it saying that PWRC is a road to nowhere giving expamples of Niall McShea and Martin Rowe, who were both PWRC champions, and who were both forced to leave WRC as no teams were interested in them.
Meeke said he will still wait if anybody offers him a drive in a WRC car, but he will not approach everybody with a beggar's hat and beg for a chance.
