I heard it on RPM and have read an article on www.motorsport.com that announced M-Sport BP Focus driver, Marcus Gronholm will retire at the end this year's WRC Season. There's still a few rounds left and let's hope he can secure another World Championship!

There's no indication on who'll fill his seat at M-Sport.

Did you hear that he sounds interested in a few token drives next year?
"Nothing is decided and, for now, I'm just focused on what we have to do for the rest of the season," said Gronholm, who would not deny the move as a possibility when asked about it in Spain. "When it comes to Monte Carlo, I might go and spectate. I would just stand at the side of the road and laugh as they are trying to decide about the tyre choice. But, when Sweden comes, maybe it's more interesting." Full story > He might be doing a Sainz and just picking and choosing, without the pressure of Championship titles... |

Yeah, It sounds like he's not completely lost to the Rally world just yet. It'd be good to see him in Australia again though.
