2023 WRC News & Rumours

[Eli]

No chance we’ll see a car being revealed today right? Have to wait for the week before Monte.

No official season opening ceremony this year through Red Bull or someone else as we have learned but my guess is next week the teams will reveal the stuff during social media or beginning of the Monte week at least

Is there any source?

I've heard from a member of this forum and confirmed with some Italians. My guess (now this is pure imagination from my side) is that we will see Bertelli in a Yaris in Monte Carlo and Sweden.

But what I meant in my previous post is that Bertelli can afford renting the Yaris and if he wants he will drive it whenever it is available.

Because Ogier will drive in Monte, that fourth Yaris would not be available.

The italians have been very wrong with rumors lately, but let's see, usually Bertelli likes to do Sweden.

This sounds a likely strategy for Greensmith and he is able to help Toksport fund these trips.

Agree. Already it looks like we will have 4+ drivers selecting events to avoid strong events of others and get own strong ones and a few picking overseas ones on top.

They were correct this time. He is indeed renting the Yaris Rally1 for Rally Sweden.

Good move Lorenzo

Starting to look like MSport business kinda imploded.

- "nobody" buys Rally2 car
- Rally3 getting Renault competition
- Greensmith and his money out
- Bertelli and his money out
- RedBull not wanting to pay enough for Loeb (and Fourmaux, or Mikkelsen for that matter)

All on Tanak or bust?

Good move Lorenzo

Well, I´d say he´s not going to be faster anyway.
Importance of Rally1 car brand is for the top drivers, not for paying gentlemen.
