This time linked with Mitsubishi for a full drive in next seasons WRC. Mitsubishi boss however has said he will wait too see his performance at Wales rally GB.

Also, with Citroen and Peugeot leaving the championship next year, a new championship has been sparked called the S2000. WRC will have a mere 4 teams wereas rumours are the S2000 will have anywhere up to 8 teams.
OK, Rumours circulating for teams are:

Fiat: Punto
Toyota: Corolla
Volkswagen: Polo
Lada: 112
Renault: Rumour circulating is the Logan
Peugeot have shown interest.
Dacia also shown interest.

The S2000 cars will be simalair to WRC, 2.0l engines, 4WD and i have heard different things as to the turbochargers, some say there are and some say thee arent.

Interesting info.
Question: why was the S2000 serie created ? cost reduction ?
 
It seems that way, everywhere ive read its based around it being cheaper.
 
The main idea of S2000 is to bring more manufacturers into the sport.

Not only will it be cheaper, but those manufacturers who can't see the point of running a turbo 4WD WRCar to market their 2 litre econobox will be able to justify the sport. Almost every major manufacturer has a small, normally aspirated 1.6-2.0 litre car that could be turned into an S2000 car and run in the WRC for marketing purposes.
 
Lada in a rally stage oh thats rich. I cannot stop laughing lol.
 
Don't laugh, Lada actually has quite a rich rallying history.

I believe Markko Martin started his rallying career in a Lada.

And they still compete in rallies all over the world, like here:

 
I bet most of you don't know that Lada and Skoda 130 were even turned into Group B supercars :) .
