Sounds too me like the two guys where just not getting along, Glenn clearly believes in atko's talent, but he feels he should be doing a few things differently, Atko thought otherwise, they where sitting on the side of the road for three hours looking at a wrecked car, they had a bit of a deep and meaningful conversation with each other and decided that it was time to go their seperate ways. It's part of life.
Looks like Prevot has the seat. And yes, let's hope he does improve, regardless of who is sitting next to him!
We can't be blamed for feeling he has reached his peak & I feel sure this has entered the heads of the powers that be in SWRT as well! I for one am tired of seeing him up high in the results early into a rally only to see him slip 20-30 odd places because of hitting something or going off & if it's not one of those it's mechanical. Seems he just can't win a trick!
I was bitterly disappointed to see him go off in 2006 in Perth - our last WRC event (Hiss Spit!! If I ever see that politician he'd better duck for cover!).
We were hoping to see him put on a show for us but it wasn't to be, yet again. Mind, think I was more disappointed to hear of Gronny's off and can't help wondering if that hadn't occurred, would Loeb have competed in NZ? (Yet another 'fail to finish' by Atto)
Ahh well, at least there was a good effort put in by local boy Dean Herridge in Perth, perhaps the next Aussie to win a WRC drive.
I dont really think they should have been partnered up in the first place.
I can understand why (Glen had WRC experience, Chris needed that), but to me they never even looked like gelling together.
If you look at the Petter/Phil and Marcus/Timo they have a very good relationship. From what I saw of Chris/Glen, it was business only = not ideal at all.
Lets see how Stefan goes :)
That's exactly what has been lingering in my mind for quite some time :)Quote:

The young Aussie, was that Dale Moskat?
They don't mentoning it in the interview with Stephane Prevot. Just that both Giraudet and Prevot have contacted the team and asked for the job. Giraudet was found to be too old, and the unknown Australian to unexperienced.
grugsticles, that's my understanding.
I hear that SWRT had more say over the choice than usual because a certain car was written off in Portugal - something about controlling their investment.
BUT from what I hear Chris had real problems understanding Prevot in the recent test, due to his strong 'English' accent.
