So that will be closed soon what are ford going to race then the echo boost

3tomany, Oct 16, 12:16pm
ford are a fiscaly responsable company that doesnt need 85billion dollars of puplic money to continue, they make the tough decisions and get on with it. I will drive an ecoboost before i become a bludger

Huh.you guys are a crack up. Somebody starts a thread about WRC and you still turn it into a V8/Ford/Holden thing.

BMW/MINI are out too.

splinter67, Oct 16, 12:23pm
Ford ausie havent taken the money yet when they cant sell the echoboost we will see what happens

splinter67, Oct 16, 12:25pm
Hell who will be next when will the prius rally team arrive

3tomany, Oct 16, 12:28pm
ecoboost is doing fine in most countries but the thought of dreadfull 2ltr engines in commodores is the reason they will never do well in aussie . fords 2ltre is quicker than a commie six

VW will be in the wrc class inwrc in 2013. Hyundai and Toyota are likely to join in if they can make a car/ driver combo fast enough for the game.

Time for BMC/BLMC to get back into rallying!

splinter67, Oct 16, 4:38pm
Wouldnt they have to make a car first !

3tomany, Oct 16, 5:15pm
loeb is only racing part time next season so the time was right to win it but m sport is still going to enter there fiestas as a private entry so ford will be there without ford money

I thought the V8's in Holdens were crated out from the GM factory in the States then re-badged.

3tomany, Oct 16, 5:49pm
good point holden dont make a v8 at all lol

pebbles61, Oct 16, 7:59pm
They already did, we'll just use a mini or 1800
