The closest WRC race ever

There's only one tire maker though. There were two last year.

And he's the only Subaru driver who has gotten a contract extension.

I wouldn't be surprised if Petter was given the boot, due to his terrible performances this year.

Solberg's apparently wrangling for a Ford or Citroen drive. Cant blame him, Subaru have been dropping the ball lately. Ford have so many cars running these days its not funny.

It's pretty much the car to have. The Citroen is unavailable and a tad unreliable.
I could see Solberg at Stobart possibly, not quite sure about a factory Citroen, even though they seem to be a bit unhappy with Sordo.

Well so long as Ford can make the cars for all the different outfits, the results just fall into place. More cars running means more data coming back

And more manufacturer points.

Rallying it's just a shadow of what once was.

Solberg did sign a few months ago a new contract until 2009.

I actually like Atkinson a lot. I believe he's right there on the top with Loeb, Grönholm and Solberg. He just needed a bit of guidance. Since he joined Glenn McNeall, his results have been very disparate, and he's been a very consistent since Prévot joined him. He's a very experienced co-driver and the one who should have joined him since moving no SWRT.

Hes still young nevertheless, mid 20's i think. Everytime i see Hirvonen get a good result in the factory Focus though i wonder what might have been if he didnt get the Subaru drive.

They haven't confirmed if he'll be in the driver lineup for 2008.

They wouldn't sign him if they weren't counting with him until 2009.
