Anybody wondering what's going to happen in next years WRC? I think this year has been what F1 was a few years ago, a one horse race. i thought that with being in a car that isn't being developed, loeb would have a fight on his hands with gronholm and ford, obviously not! what do we reckon? we need more factory teams! i heard a renault rumour....

Citroen has officially announced their return in 2007, with the Citroen C4. Drivers: Loeb and Sordo.

Kronos will probably run the Citroen Xsara.

Red Bull seems to be ditching Skoda, replacing it with Ford. But that is only in the rumour-mill.

Mitsubishi also appears to be pulling out, due to the company's financial uncertainty, although WRC involvement seems to be continuing for next year with Ralliart. Driver: Galli?

Subaru will continue as a works team. Drivers: P Solberg and Atkinson.

Ford will continue as a works team with BP backing. Drivers: Gronholm and Hirvonen.

Peugeot run by privateer BSA team.

Suzuki is doing a part-season: 3 gravel rallies in their SX4.

Stobart M-Sport will run Fords. Driver: Wilson Jnr and likely H Solberg?
