[Doon]

A little shocked at both really!

But i suppose they could both be long term test drivers....?

[White Sauron]

it's quite a reasonable choice from Suzuki. These drivers are capable of good results, but even if they fail, no one can really blame the car, as the drivers aren't the best! So, if they "win", they win much, but what's more important for this year - if they "lose"... They don't lose anything at all with this choice!

Suppose they are only the test drivers and the real driver line up will be announced at the end of the year hope they can make they suzuki look good. Although I would prefer to see someone else there.

Although I would prefer to see someone else there.

For example, Bengue instead of Bernardi in Corsica. Remember last year in Peugeot

[Langdale Forest]

It is good to have a new team in the WRC but there is not much chance of Suzuki being able to beat Ford or Citroen this year.

Nobuhiro Tajima seems to think otherwise, "Although we are newcomers we aim for the podium":

Is really a wise choice to put drivers who haven't had much WRC action in recent years to test the cars and hope for good feedback?

I think not, they should have given the car to experienced drivers that were active in WRC lately, like Bengue and Gardemeister
