Anyone knocking on Mini has no clue, i had some of the best memories watching that live last year. Hearing it coming down the hill and seeing it for the first time at the Top Gear shoot in Lillehammer at midnight was very special :)

They're doing something wrong. The offers they give to sponsors must be horrible or they only want one big sponsor. 5 medium sponsors is better than almost no sponsoring.
I think all the s''' talking about sponsors when you managing a so called factoryteam is b''l.Quote:

Someone said to me this evening they will hand the project to ralliart :s .
In an ideal world, yes that would be best.Quote:
