I didn't dare going back as they already had my license plate number :lol:

Definitely not Pastrana, he looks too small. Those SRTUSA overalls are old, they have a Pirelli patch and SRTUSA been using BFG/Michelin tires for years here.Quote:

He did a couple of starts in wrc-corolla in National championship in sweden too.Quote:

Can't wait to see how will mini perform with works drivers.
Looks like Meeke is very optimistic and Sordo.....not so much:
Sordo in Autosport: "The Mini is coming better and better," said Sordo. "But I think we are a little bit far away from the moment. But this is normal we have less kilometres than the others. We need to wait and see what happens in the first rally."
Meeke in Autosport: "On the last test we did in Spain, Araujo came for the last half hour of Dani's test and sat in the car. They had the rear aero on and he [Araujo] was consistently two seconds per kilometre slower than Dani in the same car. Maybe we're clutching at straws and reading too much into things, but on normal stages in Portugal Araujo was two seconds or 2.1 seconds per kilometre slower [in the Mini S2000] than the frontrunners. On one stage he was down to 1.2 seconds, but that was really slow and technical...
The only thing I will say is that I don't think we're a second per kilometre away and we're not a second per kilometre in front. That's a fair assessment."
Thats Terry Kaby with Flodin. Terry was the gravel note crew for Petter along with Bruno Berglund, and is a shakedown test driver at Prodrive, also worked on recce in the SWRT days.Quote:

Danica has nice ass and Burcu is full of money and also stupid. Together winning combination. :D
Danica might be quicker then Ken BlockQuote:

Although Mini is attracting loads of attentions, they don't seem to have any major sponsor. I think that is a little bit of concern....
