Mirek and Stefan have pointed the salient argument - Ford prevaricated and wouldn't have been good enough anyway. Seb now has a team where no one is preferred in front of him and the resources are adequate to keep developing in pace with all opposition. He's not only quick, he's clever. Le jour de gloire is about to arrive again and it pains this rosbif to say it!
VW started yesterday five days of tests in Mexico. Ogier drove the car yesterday and is going to drive it today and tomorrow, when JML is arriving to share the test that day and drive the car until Thursday. It's believed that the test takes place in Mexico especially to test engine performance at high altitude. Besides yesterday the team was working hard on the suspension.

That's an expensive test.
You'd think they will have had to take a couple of chassis, engines, suspension, body, etc. Likely all airfreight.
They know how to spend the cash these Germans!
The car looks fast.
Isn't testing outside Europe forbidden? Or this applies to VW from 1 Jan 2013, when they are officially a manufacturer team?
You answered Yourself. VW can do whatever comes to their mind till they register for championship and homologate the car.
Hah, Mirek was too fast for me... He seems to be working hard too :) .Quote:
