I read about that yesterday but, didn't know if that was old news or not being that I really don't follow WRC.

[Sean O'Gorman]

Now that there is an opening, where do I go to apply? :D

[Wheel-Nut]

He must have heard there was an opening at Panther!!

And Burns returns to Subaru.

Now who'll take the #2 Peugeot seat?

[cartmanoz]

Panizzi may get the second seat, with Loix in the third. That's just a rumour floating around.

Because of the new rules for next year governing three car teams, Loix would be a good driver to put in the car.

I've read that, too.

But now look at this. Looks like Corrado didn't take too kindly to GP's recent criticizism...and took a pretty good shot him, in rebuttal. http://www.worldrallynews.com/cgi-bin/viewnews.cgi?newsid1061366689,88428, (Link)

I wouldn't mind seeing Rovanpera get #2. He's fast, but has had alot of tuff luck lately. I've read that some of it is self-imposed. Some note a lack of total concentration on his part. I'm too new to all of this to really have an opinion about it, though.

Two words. Colin McRae.

[Dr. Corkski]

I have read about Panizzi linked with Mitsubishi's return.

Either McCrash or Sainz will be out a Citreon because of the new rules. My money is on Sainz staying.

Ford may have an opening soon because I don't see them sticking with Duval too much longer.

Gil just retired from crapwagons, maybe he packing up and leaving OW for Rally :D

Remember you heard it here first :D

This is entirely rumour - not one tiny bit is based on truth (except Gil leaving the crapwagons
