[urq] WRC coverage...

[Rich Letsinger]

Peugot and Scoda (VAG) pulled out too.  They both sold their '05 spec cars
to pravateer teams that are running them under the new class that allows
last year's car.  They can use the active diffs and such that were banned
for '06 but can't use a driver that finished top 10 or so last year.

It's an interesting year so far.  I'm downloading stages online from UK TV,
better coverage anyway.  I just miss Niky Grist's color commentary.
