What's this about attitude?

It was from an interview he did at Crash.net where he blamed almost everybody but himself for not getting a WRC seat. He sounded like it was a surprise for him that motorsport is expensive and that sponsors are a part of this sport. And between the lines there was also some critism of Citroen not giving him a seat. And to critise the manufactors are rarely the way to go if you want a future in motorsport.

Funny enough he couldn't really explain why he always retires or crashes.... (The "R" in the beginning of each line means retired)

I dont think its just Kris that has pointed out the current problem with WRC. Ask Duval, Galli and Carlsson what the problem is. €150K for one weekend is not feasible in any bodys book. Not when you are depending on privateers to make up the numbers, as WRC is at the miniute. Sure ISC cant even get a title sponsor, and are giving away their coverage, just to make sure WRC doesnt sink without trace.

Remember Kris has an offer from subaru 2 years ago, and then again with Kronos Citreon, and both time failed because there is no budget from his small country. Citreon had him testing the Xsara and C4, so he must be doing something right..

just found this on irish forum. 2nd ever event in a WRC car on tarmac, beating this irish expert donelly guy, who marcus struggled with earlier in the year.
