The WRC has had a cosy 'cartel' of the same people for years and years - it's about time there was some fresh blood; just as long as they're good enough.
Seems reasonable, but if you get lucky and land someone as good as Bloore the first time out, abort the experiment! Draw up a contract immediately! But instead they bring in someone who was never particularly good in WTCC and they give her two full rallies to get up to snuff. Meanwhile I'm sure Bloore is looking for work elsewhere...

Couldn't agree more about the 'cartel' vibe.
