    whoever devotes more than 5 minutes on reading what clark thinks about the sport should consider castration as a viable life choice...

    the guy wishes the sport to turn into F1 so he can be relevant...

    pathetic.

    In that case, reading him endlessly shouldn’t be a problem for you.

    Seriously: he’s mostly unbearable on the KT monologues, but now and then he actually writes some good stuff, like this time. Go on, take the 5m.

    Loeb coming in at Hyundai could mean Paddon to wrc2pro maybe?

    In that case, wrc2pro could become a very nice support class, imagne Skoda whit Kopecky and Kalle, Hyundai whit Paddon and Huttunen, and at Citroen Mads Ostberg and Lefevre,.. Dont know M-sport plans, but i could see Camilli defending there colors, along whit Greensmith.

    Teemu Sunninen and Evans in Wrc for partial program is my guess.

    Hyundai to rotate Andreas, Dani and Seb.

    Im affraid Breen could be left whitout a drive for next season.

    I can't really agree with him on the reason tbh. Clark says main goal for Loeb would be to "support" Neuville. I really don't think Loeb would want to drive some rallies just to drop behind to clear the road (ref. Evans and Suninen in Finland, Australia etc..), to be forbidden to drive fast on power stages or to have to do service on his car himself when mechanics are busy with Neuvilles car.

    For me the main reason Hyundai would want Loeb is to help with development and setup on the car as they seem to struggle quite often with setup even against Ford and Citroen and vs Toyota seem to lack speed in general.

    EDIT: I agree with him that Hyundai has to be under real pressure, after all they were leading both champs. mid-season and didn't won any, same last year. Car is one thing, drivers another but also the rest of the team.... For example in Turkey Neuville's retirement from first place was due to a mechanic not mounting the damper correctly and 3 stages later (after another service) Mikkelsen dropped from 1st to 5th after he left service with some bolts missing.

    Obviously you can agree on CCs opinions/speculations or not. But to criticize him for having an option and sharing it when he is a journalist is extremely retarded. To attract manufacturers/sponsors you need popularity, (almost) any kind of discussion or media talk is a plus. CC is atm the only worldwide known rally journalist that actually has an opinion and gets out with it. We should want more of those, not less.(Evans is 99% press release copy and Holmes used to be ok some time ago but lately is like Evans).

    I just think it could be that M sport is not doing the whole 2019 championship.
