Of course they do. They just need people to pay for it!

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. This is just meaningless drivel PR.

so i would be glad to see him in germany, but people thinking of him as a last chance for factory driver for citroen to bring the manu championship home once again, it's a bit too much.
And yes i am young but i did see him in MC 2006... my first WRC!

This answer is very different than your other one where you said: "he has never really shown amazing speed." ;) With this post I can't disagree... :)

Tom is absolutely correct - amazing speed....... right up to the point that the tree gets in the way or the wheels are all pointing towards the sky ;)

No, Duval has never competed in a new generation WRC car (don't know if he has tested for anyone). His last outing, Deutschland 10, was hardly inspiring from where I was spectating - Lying a fairly distant 5th when he crashed on Panzerplatte (seems a familiar story)
