    My sentiments exactly..........Suzuki may as well tell their JWRC drivers "Go away, your s hit" Which as we all know, they aint, and I dearly hope they get good drives and kick Suzuki's asss

    Do you know what the basis of the agreement with Suzuki was?

    If not then just accept the decision or decide not to buya Suzuki in future because you don't like how they treat their drivers
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    I'm not talking about any agreements, when they signed for Suzuki, I doubt a WRC was mentioned.
    I'm just agreeing with the calous way they were dropped. There must be some mystery fast drivers out there on the market, Suggestions anybody???

    P.S. funnily enough Daniel, I currently drive a Suzuki.. pmsl

    Further to this it should be noted that the SX4 is in it's infancy. Next year the car is in development. Can they afford (not in a monetary sense) to put inexperienced drivers into the car and be spending money testing and not get the same feedback that a driver like Gardemeister would be able to offer with all of his experience of various different cars.

    Yes Suzuki will do whats best for them at this moment in time.

    I agree the JWRC boys are up to speed, I know Wilks has done well in a Subaru as did Meeke in last years Rally GB,if your quick in the JWRC you should pick up the speed in the WRC like Loeb, Makinen and so many others have done.
    Anyway Suzuki's decision stands final and all is done and dusted now.
    I hope they do well and i hope the ex Suzuki boys do to,

    Makinen drove in the JWRC?

    Loeb was just a freak. Loeb won nearly everything with that Saxo which admittedly was fast because the technical regs were kinder to it than they are to current S1600 cars

    No they can't, they are hiring experienced engineers why not drivers as well?
    There are two rules for success
    1. Never tell everything you know.

    Good point

    Quite right in saying you don't hire trainee rally engineers in the hope that they'll learn quickly how to design a good rally car.
