Rustad already quits the ERC...
Big booeeh for him then... He should have pursued Opel to buy him a Schanche like Astra ERC, instead of going dull on track in een 2 litre Astra...

In STCC you get paid as your are hired by a team... For the STCC you have local importers that see more national potential then for a European Chamopinship in which they don't benefit...

We will have to make a list! Volvo, Opel, Audi, and BMW (Flash+WCR) all pays for their drivers, right?

Big booeeh for him again then...
Quote Rustad: "Bring back the crown to Norway"? Not in his hands anyway... While Ludvig has made a proper move with a S40 II, Tommy is going STCC in a half as powerfull C30... Thankfully for Norwegian fans there are others trying harder to get the crown back... Quote:

Never had musch time for this guy, he is a mega talent but uses rallycross is a fallback when he cant get a deal elsewhere! Cant blame him I suppose, but he isnt the draw he maybe once was!

FULL ACK, Tommy is a professional. He must make a living from racing. Therefore he must choose the option that leaves him 'enough air to breath' rather than an own but uncertain ERC programme. And I’m quite sure that he still has the "the runner-up is the first looser" virus as well as the ability to beat anyone in RX.
