2022 WRC News & Rumours

That's what I thought when I saw 'with immediate effect', how would someone choose to retire with immediate effect, makes no sense.

If you don't need a reference, employment or wages and don't care about burning bridges or any chaos in your wake then just do it.

I think its normal in some positions for the business to put you on gardening leave for your notice period or mutually agree termination where there is sensitive information or you are a public face or if you are going to a rival.

With that in mind, does David Evans know something? "I have a sneaking suspicion this isn’t the last we’re going to hear from Andrea Adamo in the World Rally Championship". But then also "you...will be sadly missed from the service park". Perhaps a higher role for another marque?

I dunno. He was always entertaining, that's about what I do know.

If they leave, the WRC will die soon after. Hopefully that won't be the case but in these times, anything is possible

motorsport.hyundai.com has been down for over a week now.

If they go, we can't say the writing wasn't on the wall this time, in hindsight... More so than with Subaru, Suzuki and VW.

While it seems late to announce it, back in 2008, Suzuki announced their exit on the 15th December, Subaru on the 16th. Okay, there were wider economic influences back then, but still, there is precedent.

[Rallyper]

Please no.



No, he wouldn't.

You should argue why. Not only reject a quote.

Yes that's also a possibility but anyhow, if I had to guess, he would still get the boot even without that mutual agreement to leave.

P. Solberg as a team boss would be mostly bad for O. Solberg himself. He and Pernilla appear more like fanboys than somebody that can make unpopular decisions that Oliver needs to follow. For reference see the Oliver Solberg movie if you didn't yet.

That is perfectly understandable since they are parents, but also what disqualifies Petter from the job.

Another thing is how would the atmosphere in the team work with other drivers.

my 2 cents Petter would probably not be a bad team boss considering he ran his own team for a while and won WRX titles, maybe not the same scale but i'm sure there are capable people already in place to help him. However the combination of Petter/Pernilla/Oliver is not healthy for anybody in my opinion.

I'm curious what happens next, lots of rumors flying around.
