This has so much promise, yet i fear will go the normal way of british hopes.

That's good news, although I doubt they'll be in a position to win anything next year.

Meeke's not someone who just shows promise - he's already proved it. He's current IRC champion after all.

Fair point, meeke is a really good driver, but it will be kind of like mcrae at subaru i think. Just when he gets the car to his liking, prodrive will find someone younger, faster and more importantly, cheaper, like they did with hirvonen back in the day

Cant wait to see how he and Mini gets on!

This is great news, he's a great character as well. P-G Andersson is no slouch either, should be a great pairing.

We just need Loeb to retire now before the 2012 season starts

Marcus Gronholm to test and PERHAPS sign for the championship, good pairing.
