Sweden is also expensive rally to do with the cost of snow tyres, however, if Patrik Sandell and Henning Solberg are likelyt Mini pilots then these two guys sponsors are likely to want to do Sweden, also Mexico is expensive in freight terms and is also unique in the high altitude, if anything 'normal' WRC doesnt start until Portugal.

Prodrive should have work with another manufacturer ... I'm quite sure that another brand would have more support Prodrive than BMW, but Richards wanted the Mini when he saw it... I hope they will do a new car for 2014-2015. The Mini was good, they prove they still know how to do a good car, and they can benefit from their xp with Mini.

I am really surprised that a name such as Prodrive is having hard time to secure some sponsors for their WRC program. They have the reputation and the experience. I hope with good campaign and drivers this year, and probably if VW get the manufacturer championship can spark BMW interest back again to support them. And even if BMW/Mini still not interested, again Prodrive name should be enough to attract sponsors into a full campaign and manufacturer championship, specially with Loeb out of the picture. And I do not think it is a wise decision to leave the Mini to another car (given that Prodrive decided to stay in WRC), they spent couple of years developing the car and had good experince with it.

Must kill them to have a car that would be pretty competitive at the Monte and not be able to run it.

Reputation of Prodrive etc. is irrelevant when there is pretty much no TV coverage.

Prodrive are doing fine - Motorsport makes up a small part of their business...
