For me the worst thing about this “idea” is the fact that it still remains nothing more than idea, as far as we, the general unknowing public are concerned. If it weren’t for Autosport’s articles, we would have no idea they (the people ruling, shaping and otherwise doing things to WRC) are toying with this…...
Bryan Bouffier finally found a job, he’ll be testing and competing for Hyundai – it’s still not clear if they plan to use him on WRC events, but at least he is no longer unemployed.

Three years is a heck of a long time in motor sports terms. Think about it, it’s three full seasons of competing, development and investments.
