    Northern Irish rally driver Martin McCormack has been shortlisted by World Rally Championship journalists and entered in a poll for which young up and coming driver should be given the opportunity in the Volkswagen Motorsport team.

    The VW team are trialing young drivers throughout the remainder of 2011 to select a team who will prepare throughout 2012 season before they enter the WRC in 2013 with a fully fledged team. Marty is already close to the top of the list but is struggling now as the larger countries are pulling their respective drivers through. Your help would be greatly appreciated

    Reiger I doubt there was any "shame" involved at all. I dont think there was any malice from closing it either. It reads like a popularity contest to me, how much discussion does that warrant?

    "Wrc.com has consulted a number of the sport’s top journalists to come up with their top 10 suggestions. The shortlisted of drivers is shown below, together with a link to where you can cast your vote.

    Tell us what you think and we’ll bring you the results on 2 August."


    Sounds like the fella has a trial with VW already though so fair play. I dont think the poll on wrc.com will have much to do with VW's decision.
