A WRC EFFORT FOR KIMI? // FORD OFFERS

Ford's rally boss, Malcom Wilson, has offered Ferrari Scuderia driver Kimi Raikkonen a try at one of their WRC Focus rally cars. With a disappointing season thus far, there is speculation that Kimi may just accept. The offer comes as no surprise, as Raikkonen has mentioned, that when finished with Formula One, he would like to have a go at rally racing. In an conversation with Motorsport News, Wilson said: "I'd offer him a test. It'd be a great opportunity for us. We can do it because we've got the forest [stages] on our doorstep." Ford's are in Cumbria, a rather densley forested bit of land on the Northern tip of the UK. Will Raikkonen accept, we'd pay to see him at the wheel of a WRC Focus, wouldn't you? // 08/09/208
