2023 WRC News & Rumours

[WRCStan]

MSport will announce later:
Tanak (according to Gerard Quinn posting on the nose hints on twitter)
others...

This paves a path for Fourmaux in WRC2 (but they need 2 cars for teams?)

Sharing with Loeb in Rally1?

Greensmith to return as the third driver in the second M car and a third M car other rounds?

I can't be bothered counting rounds to make sense of this. Easier to wait for announcement.

With MSport it's tricky as it depends on the budget. They entered Breen out of own pocket but the rest had money/sponsorship of some kind. IF we assume it's the same this year then there will be one own driver, let's say we believe Gerard Quinn and it's Tanak. In this scenarion Tanak would presumably not take a big salary but have some kind of deal involving Red Grey.

Then presumably Greensmith still has the same budget do you'll have him as the 2nd permanent car. The third car is optional and might not be something decided up front and could be flexible as the season goes on.

What kind of Red Grey deal would make sense for M Sport? Any deal would likely harm their core businesses.

Maybe they have some hopes of some wins?

Fresh money, development of the cars, maybe M-sport is broke?

Maybe Team Solberg has aired a similar Rally2 solution to Malcolm?

So according to the latest rumors:
Toyota will announce next week:

Sooner than that...

The WRC AllLive guys seemed to know a lot more than they were allowed to say during the broadcast at the weekend, so a lot of this was already in play by then.
Personally, I would like to see Tanak at MSport, I hope it’s possible as it would be good for the championship.
