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).

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

Why do you think that he thinks that?Mar wrote:Mikko also said, Kimi might have been a bit unconcentrated lately trying to decide what he should do next.
He seems to be another one of the bunch that thinks Kimi will keep on rallying sooner or later
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.

Re: Wales Rally GB 2011
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 thatMar wrote:IRC would be interesting.

Re: Wales Rally GB 2011
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.Claudie_Schnaudie wrote:Why do you think that he thinks that?Mar wrote:Mikko also said, Kimi might have been a bit unconcentrated lately trying to decide what he should do next.

Dani's dad is talking with Citroën. But shhh! don't tell.

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?Mar wrote:I can only guess, he didn't give that many details.

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.

Re: Wales Rally GB 2011
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..."Claudie_Schnaudie wrote:Hehe okay.

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.
