Quite a lot of "rumors" from Porter about Camilli starting a rally with WRC car. Would work in Germany imo.

I think Malcolm elluded on allive to seeing how Greensmith gets on in Finland. He was quite good in a dry Monte earlier this year, different kettle of fish I know but must show some potential on tarmac.
Would they perhaps call on Bouffier, is he not a bit of a tarmac specialist?

I was thinking Camilli to step in for Evans yes, don't see why Citroen would put in another car tbh. Much more likely than Bouffier imo.

He certainly didn’t yes when asked directly whether Paddon could run in place of Evans in Germany....but he didn’t say no either.
I get a feeling there is a will from Msport to see Paddon in one of their cars if they can facilitate it.
Ironically, if Evans injury had come about before Paddon put a commercial deal for Finland together, I suspect he may have had a good chance of the ‘free’ seat that Greensmith ended up with.

Breen has no contract with Hyundai. He'd be a perfect replacement. Won't happen but he is best qualified to be competitive there

Ostberg in studio seemed confident with "I'm having meetings" "to help some team to win factory title". (edit: for 2020)
My prediction - Toyota - they need some points scorer.
Others:
Citroen - why to travel to Finland to have this kind of meeting with your current team
M-Sport - do they put their priority to factory title?
Hyundai - have already big list of drivers.Last edited by meh; 3rd August 2019 at 15:22.

I don't panic about this, there's two things going on. The current WRC Promoter GmbH deal expires in 2033, so the FIA begun the tender for whoever will run it after. Meanwhile WRC Promoter GmbH was...
