I guess the saloon is better: better airflow, better seller, and better crash protection!

Subaru's original justifcation for the hatch was for rally. I have to admit the hatch has grown on me, but it would be good to a saloon back out on the stages again.

I've seen nothing either way. I know VW/Tanner Foust keeps popping up, but I haven't seen anything substantial about that either.

It does say 'more details to come,' so who knows?

OMSE is Ford Racing's Rallycross partner big style, why should they run their own team? With cars from who?

Happy to announce that I will drive a Supercar Fiesta for @olsbergsmse in the @GlobalRallyX for 2014!
I thought this was interesting too-

I wonder how many drivers they have in total this year?

BTW, that Foust has closed his Ford stuffed website the other day indicates also that there is a new make in the pipeline, innit?

Hmm. The plot thickens!

I'm pretty new to this sport- what does it mean for him (or any other driver) when they move to a new team? Good thing/bad thing?

Money, money. money must be funny in a rich man's world.......

VW has deep pockets Ford not so much. Wonder why a driver, who is at the height of his marketability, may decide to switch especially when the switch is made easier seeing VW put their money where their mouth is and spend big to win the WRC. Not that hard is it.....

Thanks! I knew money would be involved somewhere. Do you know what the VW car will be? Polo?

I hope they stick to the Polo. I have an irrational hatred of the new Beetles.

That news is a bit out of date now. We understood during the Monte that the Beetles are postponed till 2015, as they will not be ready for this season. And instead of Pastrana (to Subaru) we have spotted another American.

Sverre Isachsen is confirmed at Subaru for the 2014 GRX season.

I missed this: "Two drivers shall fight for Volkswagen of America in the GRC series, their names will be revealed during the ‘Chicago Auto Show 2014′ (February 8 till 17),"

I saw that. I think we know now Tanner Foust is one of the drivers- who are we thinking the other one is? Brian Deegan? Someone else?

What happens if a driver doesn't have a car by the start of the season? I know in my sport, riders pick up rides all through the season. Is it the same in ?Rallycross?

If I were Andretti, I would pick an European to partner Tanner Foust.

I assume Block will be running the full GRC season again? I see he has dropped a full Rally America campaign to fit other "sponsor commitments" in, so I guess those must be GRC and Gymkhana Grid?

And why should they? VW of America sells more Volkswagens with American GRC drivers/winners. 2013 Champion Topi for example is still only known by RallyCross insiders in the US, not by "normal" motorsport fans and not at all by Tom, Dick and Harry.

Nice to see some dates/locations!

This is interesting:
Quote:
Racing superstars Ken Block, Tanner Foust, Scott Speed and Travis Pastrana are among the many world-class talents who will compete in Red Bull Global Rallycross in 2014. Factory-backed organizations from Ford, Subaru and Hyundai will compete, while Volkswagen will enter the series with longtime IndyCar front-runners Andretti Autosport, contributing to the strongest driver and team lineup in the world of rallycross.
http://www.global-rallycross.com/new...t-2014-season/
So VW are in. Good! It'll be nice to see something other than 75% Fords racing around!
