Suzuki goes to S2000

**JAM** · 24th January 2008, 14:40

Suzuki is still strugling on SX4WRC perfomance and is already developing at the same time an S2000 car.

One good car is better than two bad cars...

To my knowledge WRC beyond 2010 will be based on S2000 and N-group car so I say it's not a bad idea by Suzuki to develope S2000 if that's going to be the basis for future WRC...

I partly agree, but this is 2008 not 2010.
I don´t think they have that much resources to work PROFESSIONALLY on both projects.

You either commit and work in WRC (if you choose so) in order not to make a fool of youself or you quit and start develop an S2000 and join IRC.

Once more...it seems that in order to continue in WRC 2010 and beyond a manufacturer needs to have either a S2000 or N-group car for it so I say it's about time to start develope their new car...2010 is not that far away...
