I read about Subaru cars in another thread, a change again ?_?

i guess we will hear more tomorrow then, but what i think is that Garde is not with the arabs anymore, who were trying to get the mitsu's back on track with a long term deal. And the arabs are the one's who are changing to some other car rumoured to be subaru's. But i might be wrong, we will see tomorrow.

General Prim was a catalan military of the 19th century.
His relationship with WRC is that he was born in Reus, a city in the area of Ral.li Catalunya Costa Daurada.
I hope i haven't discovered too much about you General Prim...

I hope he doesn't get excluded again for not wearing underwear, or should I say the right underwear. It's really bad to be excluded in a WRC event for not wearing the right undergarments. Maybe Juho's undergarments have holes in them so he got excluded (joke!) :D Good luck to him. Hope he make the best out of his drive this year.

Great that Garde got a car! But what was all the last minutes scramble with Mitsubishi???

here's an autosport story of it

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/56248

what strikes me at the end is this "Toni Gardemeister has already been signed for the full season". I wonder if it's true, or do they just have wrong information...

Toni Gardemeister is getting the drive for free and get salary from personal sponsors- seat that was offered to Henning Solberg ? His job will then be to develop the Lancer WRC2008. Xavier Pons and Janne Hanninen are partly paying with sponsors for the devellopment costs and entries, just like al second drivers (Companc, Katajamaki, Latvalla, Tsjoen) paid for Mathew Wilson in Stobarts 2006 team ?

crash.net reports that it is now official. MMSP will run 2 Lancers for Gardemeister and Pons for the first 3 events in Monte, Sweden and Norway plus an additional Lancer for Hänninen in Norway. They are also hoping to run atleast 1 Lancer in Portugal.

Does anyone know if the deal between Gardemeister and Mitsu is for a couple of events or for the majority of events in 2007?

They are also hoping to run atleast 1 Lancer in Portugal.

Maybe for Armindo Araújo. His team is working on that. Maybe in next day we could have some news.
