Eyvind Brynhildsen does the PWRC with RalliArt New Zealand – but does he need a PR course?

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Young Norweigan Eyvind Brynhildsen will do the full PWRC for Ralliart New Zealand. He will drive Rally Norway, Cyprus Rally, Rally de Portugal, Rally Argentina, Rally d’Italia Sardegna, Acropolis Rally, Rally Australia and Wales Rally GB. A good difference to almost all other european PWRC drivers (which seems to be most of the drivers) that almost always skip the oversea’s events.

However, there is one thing I really don’t get here. Eyvind hasn’t even put a press release regarding his drive on his own website? He’s got BrynhildsenTV there, but he hasn’t got any updated news on his new deal!? That’s quite… Strange. I thought he along with the other Norweigan guys were those supermanaged, professional young guns knowing exactly how to play their cards to get on top of the World Rally Championship – at least to know that they wont fall on anything other than pure driving skills. You need to do better, Eyvind!

After this little burst, I just wonder one more thing. Is Brynhildsen still working on the rumoured Lancer WRC05 (with ’07 upgrades) deal for the Norweigan Championship along with MML Sports? If he could manage to secure that, he seems to have done his homework quite well anyway (but why not Super2000?), allowing him to drive both group N and WRC during 2009. The Lancer is a good car and he should be able to perform good in the Norweigan Championship. Maybe that’s why he hasn’t had time to update his website…
