Tanak had Dirtfish sponsorship. Is this still going and could they bring some funding to assist an M-Sport deal ?

even if they didn't have replacement what sense does it make to keep him? 2 podiums for 6 crashes? also everyone else pays directly or through sponsorship.

Just change Evans and Tänak and you have the correct prediction Originally Posted by seb_sh

if Evans is out of Toyota, Hyundai might also jump on him then it gets complicated for Lappi. Originally Posted by cali

Surely it's better for Loubet to do a full season at Msport at this stage. He has the backing plus Msport should support him more.
Unless Toyota are offering him a multi year deal and progression plan beyond doing half a season

It's a good point. If Evans is technically on the market, it would be a huge oversight from Hyundai not to get him over Msport. They have the money. Then Sordo could retire, Breen is without a drive and Neuville, Evans and Lappi full seasons. Originally Posted by seb_sh

The problem is that they don't make the decision soon enough, or even have it in the plan before the race. The guy behind who's just come out on fresh tyres & is 2 seconds a lap faster needs the call...
