From Prodrive press release
Team MINI Prodrive has announced that it will not participate to Rally GB in September.
Dani Sordo and the Prodrive WRC team have completed a successful two-day test in the Mosel Valley this week ahead of Rally Germany and are increasingly confident that they can challenge at the head of the field for the Trier-based event in three weeks.
The Prodrive WRC Team will now compete on the final three tarmac rounds of the WRC in Germany, France and Spain.
The decision means the MINI team will not travel to Wales for Rally GB, but instead will concentrate on the rallies it believes Sordo has the best chance of success.
The Prodrive team took the initial findings of its UK tarmac test in July and confirmed these in the vineyards of the Mosel on Tuesday and Wednesday, with Dani Sordo having great confidence in the handling and balance of the car.
