The base car from Subaru (14) was / is "difficult" especially on the rear end.
I understand the need for experienced drivers to devellop a new car, but what is in it for the testdriver(s)? Normallly a testdriver wants to race with the car he devellops. So my point was: what has Mini/Prodrive to offer to Marcus Gronholm and Markko Martin to come out of their "retirement"? Gronholm could have a contract for 2011, with not too many rallies so he can be home for quality time. But what has Markko on the agenda to do the testjob? Just for the fun of driving and develloping a new car or a drive for his protege in a (privateer) team for a reduced price?
This two guys used to be paid with six zeros and now it's different situation but for good offer don't think they could refuse it..
Really, what do you know about that what Prodrive dont know?Quote:

This time they will listen what drivers have to say, I guess.. They don't want to repeat the fate of subaru from 2006..
It looks really good with Grönholm driving it! Cant wait for 2011 now!
Smart of them to use a lot of drivers to get as many driving styles and aspects of the car to the surface.
Gronholm looked like he had a bad back walking to the car.
