Yes, I know that is what is said. News about that "phantom test" said that the reason of doing it for Novikov was seeing by himself how fast the Mini could be, before choosing a car for this season. I don't what private Mini drivers get from Prodrive, but there are many of them. If the reason for competing with a car were only the money, everyone would drive the cheaper one.Quote:

Back to topic, finally there won't be today an official announcement about the chosen driver for replacing Latvala.
I don`t know why drivers work with Mini. Factory Minis are in the same pace as private Fords. Private Minis are slow with any driver... And also their price is higher. I don`t understand.Quote:
