    So the drivers work is not only driving then. With limited testing I would have never had the confidence.

    Then, if you are lucky you have a car as it runs on rails. I'm glad they've banned the active diffs.
    You say it all right there.

    +1 It shows how much work goes on outside of the car as well as in.
    The more I read Antonys blog, the more impressed I am with Petter solberg, his work load must be huge.

    I agree. I don't know where he finds the energy and mental strength to perform as well as he does with all the extra things he has to worry about. I really hope he can get back into a manufacturer team very soon.

    Yeah, I agree. It just reflects poorly in the WRC as a whole - a WRChampion can't get a drive. Can you imagine the same happening in F1?

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Jacques Villeneuve. None of the teams are interested even though he has tried to get drives after being dumped by BMW/Sauber.

    It depends on the champion, Grönholm would have got a deal this year if he would have wanted.

    Agreed. IIRC M-Sport and Petter didn't part amicably and Citroen don't really need Petter. If this were 2002 Petter would be getting paid to drive but it's not.
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    I wonder what happened with Petter and M sport?
    VW would be ideal for Petter to get a manu drive, they want flogging if they dont take him on!
