Well, I'd endure Nascar as anything else he wishes to drive, but I couldn't support the same way I did with WRC and F1. It's a shame there isn't an IRC with ocassional WRC + Le Mans option
IRC would be interesting. The problem is that, if what I'm hearing in Spain is true (and these sources are usually pretty reliable), next year we will have less works WRC seats than this year. Even the guys that now have a seat will have problems to have one and some of them might end in one of the paid seats in IRC (I suppose). Situation is simply desperate in the championship.

Oh! and BTW, Citroën's line up could be quite surprising, Colin maybe got it right yesterday night, even if it was by pure chance :O

He seems to be another one of the bunch that thinks Kimi will keep on rallying sooner or later :)
Why do you think that he thinks that? :confused:

Don´t think that this mistake (which was actually his real big one this season) has anything to do about Kimi thinking about his future.
Kimi Kimi gimme just a little smile :)

It clearly depends somewhat on who gets financial and other support. Al Quasimi will be in a Citroen works seat , and he's usually slower than Kimi. But than again in F1 it's similar despite that there's much more money. Or exactly because of that

I can only guess, he didn't give that many details. Maybe he thinks Kimi has been under big pressure to make a decission in one way or the other. :confused:

Isn't it Al-Attiyah? (it doesn't really matter, one of the two)
I can understand Kimi doesn't want to keep on spending his own money to fill Citroën's.

Hehe okay. But what I don´t get is why do you think that he (Mikko) thinks that Kimi will keep on rallying?

About the Sordo to Citroen...Wow that´s an interesting rumour! But Mini isn´t that bad and there he doesn´t have to follow orders. :confused:

I don't know, they asked Mikko if he thought Kimi could keep on rallying next season and he said "sure" and he kept on going with the "he has improved..."

And about Dani... yep, the Mini isn't that bad but question is: in how many rallies are we going to see a Mini team next year? The ciffer going through Spain at the moment is ridiculous low.
What I've heard is that Richards is fighting hard to keep the team alive but they are in serious trouble, they have some serious problems with BMW.
But Richards is really working hard on it, maybe he can somehow save the situation, fingers crossed.

To make everything still better, Wilson has not finished the new deal with Ford yet and they are running out of time. The deadline to entry the manufacturers for next season is December 12th (because of Rally Monte Carlo), there is only one month left. :fear:
