[tfp]

the question still remains.. who is going to pay for these iconic events to stay in the sport ??

I think ferrari should enter a car to this GT class like Lotus, that would bring in the bucks for Sanremo at least

I was told by someone at the Somerset Stages rally that VW are to pull the plug on the programme at the next major board meeting.

I dont believe it myself!

With Brazil ans South Africa likely to join WRC soon (these two countries as well as Argentina) are big and important markets for VW) I dont beleive these rumours.

Volkswagen should continue their test programme with the Polo R WRC instead of the Skodas in the second half of the season. Rallies would be much more interesting.

Why should they show their cards to the opposition so early and give them plenty of time to react with new homologations?

not happy with Tanak in his first wrc rallies,but happy with Jari?

I think Latvala could accidentally burn down Dovenby Hall and Wilson would forgive him...

And what was his source? There was an article on the internet from a French journalist claiming the same.
However, that article was published on april 1st, so I don't believe it either (imagine the horror!).

He didnt give one, which was another reason I didnt believe it! I also didnt agree with his opinion that the WRC didnt need a promotor or at the very least a perminent TV deal!

If VW is to pull the plug on WRC program it's because there is no promoter.

They let M-Sport built that thing?

Luckily they had helmets on, from the high-speed camera it's clear that both bang their heads rather hard. Bad crash. :-P
