Wasn't Eklund building a Beetle? Could he be partnering with Andretti? Andretti looked very hard at getting in to GRC in 2013 as did another IndyCar team but no-one wanted to run Fiesta's behind OMSE.
I don't have any inside knowledge but drivers are interesting. I would be shocked if Foust were to leave Ford as he has had a long and fruitful relationship but it is Ford USA that backs OMSE whereas with VW it is global. He does have a great relationship with Jost Capito........but then again has a great one with Andreas. I would have thought Tanner wants to do some WRX rounds (with Deegan, etc.) as OMSE must be the better bet for that.
Personally I would like to see Travis in the VW as the series needs Travis and you can't find a better human being in racing.
With GRC focusing on the US in 2014 although i am now out of the series I am really hoping this is the breakthrough year. If Chevrolet get behind Pat properly then who knows where this could go.......
