Interesting to see who the second car goes to (and I wonder if they are building one or two new cars?)
Given the above, I reckon we have enough names to start a list:
Munnich Motorsport - Timo Scheider - Seat Ibiza ( World RX)
STARD - Janis Baumanis - Ford Fiesta ( World RX)
STARD - ? - Ford Fiesta ( World RX)
ES Motorsport - ? - Skoda Fabia ( World RX)
Munnich Motorsport - Rene Munnich - Seat Ibiza ( Select World RX) |
Plus
Xite Racing - Oliver Bennet - BMW Mini Cooper
(World RX)
Xite Racing - ? - Ford Fiesta
(Euro RX)
And if they decide to make a new car again
Xite Racing - ? - ?
(World RX)
They're also looking to link up with an existing team, SLR with Demoustier would be a good fit as they each ran 1 car last year.
Ostberg is looking to run in WRC-2 with only part time WRX running.
EKS built 8 cars over 5 years and will sell them. Ekstrom said they would help the new owners of the cars but that EKS would not run at all in 2019 and he will not do a full WRX season ever again.
If Hansen can get a budget they will run 2 cars for the Hansens.
