it looks like ford won't run a full season next year, if that they do anything at all, making way for there F1 'super team'. So i don't think there will be any top drivers heading to ford, maybe time for a young guy to get some experience??

Nobody as Ford have basically pulled out of the 2005 Canmpaign.
Chip.

Ford will run a single car on European rounds only - probably as a semi-works outfit

I dont remember seeing an official announcement from Markko, Peugeot or Ford yet !

The rumours about Markko moving to Peugeot were very strong in Germany. Given the state of Ford, I'd say it was quite likely.

There is another rumour that Peugeot maybe pulling out aswell after 2005. There seems little point in two brands from the same company (PSA) - Peugeot and Citroen slugging it out for the championship.

So, that'll leave Citroen and Subaru in it then - very exciting! :confused:

what you have to think about is ford will not be in the championship in 2005
and its looking very unlikley that skoda and mitsubishi are coming back so at this rate by 2007 ish will we have a wrc ? and if peugeot pull out at the end of 2005 it may be sooner (due to the cost of shipping just two teams round the world )

So, that'll leave Citroen and Subaru in it then - very exciting! :confused:

About as exciting as waching a stick balanced in a bucket of Sh*t.

A bit 96 when it was not part of the wRC round. Not much fun.
