Suzuki Anouncing Drivers Friday

[Barry_]

The Suzuki World Rally Team has confirmed that it will announce its driver line-up for next year's FIA World Rally Championship on Friday, December 14th.

The Japanese manufacturer will contest the entire 2008 season with the all-new SX4 WRC car, which already made its debut in the championship at this year's Rallye de France - Tour de Corse.

Stay tuned for this Friday's announcement...

Well the names are all known:
Gardemeister for no1
Former Suzuki junior drivers Wilks, PGA, Baldacci and Aava are all still possibilities for the second car.

Given the lack of top drivers in the championship, I would prefer Gardemeister in a better car but, if it is Suzuki or nothing, then it's welcome.

Seems like PG is in for Sweden and Monte.

From http://www.racingworld.it and google translate anta:

WRC-PG Andersson and Mirco Baldacci on Suzuki SX4!

Former Official Suzuki pilots in World Junior, Per-Gunnar Andersson and Mirco Baldacci, they tried Suzuki SX4 World Rally Car.

According to what has leaked from some indiscretions, the two have recently played a test session on Japanese car, strictly behind closed doors. It is likely with the version 2008 that debut in Monte Carlo and that the engineers are already working for some months.

Suzuki postpone driver announcement.

Confirmation was due at 8 am CET on Friday December 14, however Hirotaka Ono, Board member of the Suzuki Motor Corporation and in charge of the European market, passed away on Thursday night and as such the announcement has been postponed as a mark of respect.

A new date has yet to be set.

Wait a minute, how certain are we that Gardemeister is going to be the lead driver of Suzuki?
I ask this because these Suzuki chumps are so unpredictable that they'll probably cancel their entry in an event because their director broke a fingernail. They haven't scored one manufacturers' point yet and already they regard themselves as the top team in the field.
