You know what, in the past couple of weeks the 2013 season has started to shape up quite nicely. And there are still annoucements to be made regarding Menu and Muller. 2013 could still be interesting. Although it's more than likely going to be a Tarquini walkover.

I think Muller has some sponsors so that and Chilton's money.

Not really, Yvan Muller will be champion this year, I don't think RML will unlearn what they know about those cars, manufacturer backing or not....

Calling it

Just sorry for the independent teams now. All that damage that those 2 cars are going to cause, particularly in the reverse grid races...

True but then again, considering the privateer effort has only just been announced then RML would have lost many months precious R&D and testing. How much will that hurt them for 2013?

As a direct consequence on the Swedish touring car civil war, the Swedish Chevrolet team will run WTCC this year with one Cruze. Driver not yet announced.

Very likely, I think. I don't think there's any Swedish drivers willing or capable to drive that car.

Would Rydell consider coming out of retirement to drive? He'd be the most capable surely.
