That is very interesting if true: I didn't think VW Motorsport would let anyone touch those cars now.

Would rather the VW Motorsport Polo didn't come back, it was too good for the championship. But I'd like to see Kristofferson come back in a different Polo or different car.

I think it would be a different story now. The cars were close in 2018 (closer than I think Kristoffersson is given credit for) and the other teams have had another year of development.

I personally think Kristoffersson would struggle to be competitive in a KMS car.

Bakkerud hinting about an announcement on Facebook. Part of me thinks maybe they've got a team together and will run ex EKS Audis but part of me also thinks the Megane.
Liam had a good run in it back in Loheac so I wonder if he preferred the style of it, I certainly don't think that the way the Audi had to be driven suited the approach of either Doran or Bakkerud.

I think the Megane is more likely at this point. Real shame if two of the 2018 specification EKS cars go unused this year.

Kristofferson also teasing an announcement: could it be connected to the Bakkerud announcement? (Monster is a common sponsor)

Rumor Jani Paasonen plan participate 4-5 FIA World RX event this season of his own team, and Janis Baumanis could possibly compete with ES Motorsport.

No rear radiator on that car. Have KMS copied the VW Motorsport setup, or is that one of the PSRXVW cars?...

In the article on the official site TK mentions buying services from VW Motorsport so I suspect it's an old car.

Yeah, I see a few mentions of "VW Motorsport services". A comment on Facebook seems to be suggesting that is a show car and not the real deal (which might explain the older wing).

A minor point, but I just noticed...



...a Red Bull hat: no longer with Monster Energy?

I think his affiliation with Monster was more or less down to Solberg.

7 GCK cars with the Euro entries! Quite an effort to run that many cars from one team. I presume RX Cartel will have the same set up with crew as 2019, and maybe Marklund a crew from previous as well.

Thinking about it, the Unkorrupted thing makes a bit more sense now, I expect to see some social media stuff between them and the Cartel

Considering nobody in the Megane has ever ventured near the top step of the podium I think Bakkerud might struggle a bit this year.

Yeah, I wonder if the move is going to make life more difficult for Bakkerud (again). Sure I recall Liam making an off hand comment about GCK (on Facebook) last year? Wonder how he feels about them now!

World Rallycross Championship just posted the permanent entry list on Facebook:

Who has driven that car that we think is genuinely a likely race (not heat) winner at the minute? Marklund if he gets lucky? Rokas in a few years perhaps?

As is Portugal now.

Just seen a post on Facebook confirming 22 permanent Euro Supercar entries and 16 permanent S1600 drivers. Great numbers, just need to get this pandemic sorted now...

Janis Baumanis will compete in a full 2020 campaign with the newly-created KYB Team JC outfit, alongside Swede Robin Larsson.

There is now looking like being a Dirt 2 competition with some official drivers, but can't remember where I saw the link to it.
