David Richards talks about the possibility of having ten Mini Countryman WRC in 2012

It's impressive to see how it has changed the landscape of world Rallye. While last year saw many lists of registered several squalid, this season are beginning to see much evidence that far outweigh the dozen of World Rally Cars in what is still the year of its debut. A clear example is that of Mini. After the two official drivers, already begins to rumors about the possibility of having more WRC Countryman from next season.

Dani Sordo and Kris Meeke units, they join this year, from Sardinia, Armindo Araujo and Daniel Oliveira. But the true hatching is expected from the next season when David Richards would expect to see up to 10 units of the new Countryman WRC by the sections of the Rallye world. An incredible number to be added to those who will also have Ford and Citroen.
According to our Portuguese colleagues of Autosport, which are the source of this news, the decoration that we saw during the Monday after the presentation in Oxford of the team will not be final. Within a few weeks we will see the printing and the sponsors that will take the team on her forthcoming debut at Italy.

Jean Todt does not rule out the possibility of seeking re-election as President of the FIA

Jean Todt does not rule out the possibility of seeking re-election as President of the FIA. In fact, in an interview with the Financial Times, Todt has hinted that it would submit to re-election, within two years. It seems that understood it all wrong, and he never said that he would only be four years.
As I said, now it seems that everyone had the same error with the declarations of Jean Todt, when in his day was elected President of the FIA. French said that said only that he wanted to get as much as possible that could be achieved in those four years.
In principle, would refer to that he could not say when chosen was that it would be at the head of the FIA for a second term. That always according to their statements now. In addition, Jean, diplomatic as ever, it has sought to downplay incendiary statements of Bernie Ecclestone against 2013 engines.

There is excitement, but what is important is not to react in exaggerated form. I think the confrontation, unless it is necessary to obtain a positive outcome, is a waste of time.
