2024 WRC News & Rumours

Good for Mikkelsen and at least he will deserve this last chance winning two WRC2 titles during the last three seasons.

Last year he was dropped by Lappi from Hyundai contract and now it seems that it´s thanks to Lappi´s part time season he is back with Hyundai.

Regarding young Solberg.
Everybody seems to miss one important detail placinghim in MsportRally1 car.
He is sponsored by Monster Energy and as long RedBull is connected with Msport,* I believe that's still Formauix sponsor , Solberg and Msport won't going to happen. The only scenario that might solve that is that Msport part ways with Redbull, Solberg parts ways with Monster or Solberg drive for the own team with Msport backing or support.

This has been pointed out a number of times.
The Ford alliance with Red Bull (F1) will be difficult to break one would expect.
But many athletes have switched from one to the other.

Having Monster & Red Bull doesn't seem to cause issues in Downhill MTB...Specialized have Bruni (RB) and Williams (Monster).......

If Skoda is returning to be a factory team next year, could Toksport switch to running the new Yaris Rally2 ?

I think Mikkelsen deserves last chance

Good news. I'm still curious on what their plan is, Mikkelsen and Lappi sharing seems really strange.
