Has Meeke a testing program ? Should think they were driving the car somewhere every week to learn the car and collect data to improve.

Yes, full testing programme. Small testing in UK, one week of intense testing in Europe every 3 - 4 weeks.
P-G to get 2nd seat? Hope so.

At least he has work.. Look at Schumi, he's not at home and gets millions for that.. That's better.. :D

Between the lines, did Grönholm say anything about the Mini's performances or potential ?

Not really, but he said before, that he will test the car before he deside, also he is not that stupid that he would talk of the cars possible problems in public.
The world is full of thick drivers who talk to much and then afterwards wonder why nobody want to sign them.

Nobody is signing anybody.. :D

Good article on Meeke and testing the Mini and some new pictures (thanks to Conor):

This might seem a silly question but is this the actual width of the car or is there an extra suspension package to come to give extra travel and of course those flared arches?

The pictures present the car in tarmac setup, that's why it looks that it doesn't have enought suspension travel in those pictures.

So ugly.. But ONE MORE manufacturer in the sport..

Extremely ugly in my opinion , looks like a London taxi cab :D

But looks don't win rallies , so it isn't important ;)
