No, he isn't scheduled to run any upcoming WRC events (as far as I know), he's going to contest one of his favorite rallies in N. Ireland. Looks like he'll be driving one of the MINIs mentioned in this M/A thread. Meeke back in a MINI (WRC.com)
Good news! I sure hope MINI starts to realize soon that there are a bunch of us who want to see these cars compete on numerous fronts.
This is great news. No it is not a WRC ride, but heck it is heartening to see a good rally driver get a good ride in an event he truly enjoys. Good luck Kris! ^ :yesnod: :fingerscrossed:
This is GREAT. I hear what chkmini is saying, but in the world of WRC, I think MINI "has lost its way". Kris sounds like he has learned from the past. Instead of jumping on any ride that comes along, he is asking the right question, "What's in it for me long term". Go Keis. Wounder what happened to his other co driver? Moved on I guess. Jim
"Meeke marvellous in his MINI" Kris Meeke won this rally! Other MINIs came 4th & 6th, each less than 2 seconds from 3rd & 5th. Final stage report here.
Thanks Steve. Good for Kris. They never should have dumped Kris for those other clowns. Dani and Kris were going places. Jim
:arf: +1 What a great quote by McKinstry -- "I was always going to be up against it with Kris Meeke. We were the best of the rest which isn't bad."
