Why on eaeth it is called as a "fartsmonster" ?? Should Marcus and Mikko call their Focus' as "puuppahirviö"?

I dunno if you noticed in the background during Hennings interview, but there was someone race-suited putting their helmet on, with Sanyo sponsorship. I wonder whether Gareth MacHale was trying one for size too, and whether we may see him out in the Focus 06 at some point next year.

Yes, Gareth tested the 06 Focus this week and will rent it(or buy) from M-sport for 12 WRC events next year.

It was J.P. Raies, Perez Companc team mate.
Nothing to expect from him.
He is a professional (not hobby, as the case of Companc) but he is even slower than Perez Companc................

If Henning goes off the road with lots of mistakes like this year(last part of 2006 championship, after Turkey) in his new Focus, I have the feeling his bashers will come with pleasure to sack him on the forum :mark:

From where that guy raises his money??? Is he boy of rich father or has he succeed in getting sponsors unlike Meeke?

It's tragicomical situation to see two mediocre british newcomers in good wrc car whereas their best talents are without drive.

He's irish and i gues the deal with sanyo is pretty good like the expert deal for Henning. Do alot of the irish driver s own ther own company ore something as there are so many wrc cars

Getting sponsors has never been about having the most talent.

It is too bad that it is the people with the most talent that never seem to appreciate that lesson in life...
