VW has only memories of Group A, a Dakar winning rally raid car and 2 old rally drivers (Sainz and Kankkunen) with a lot of experience, but non with up to date experience. VW needs a driver with devellopmint skills and experience of modern cars, otherwise it will be a Toyota F1 look a like disaster.Quote:

Sure KK is one of the biggest in rally, but driving brilliant and making a car brilliant are 2 different things.
When Lassi Lampi devellopt a brilliant car brilliant suited for Makinen (1994-2000), the group A technice was much simpler. Mitsubishi's WRcar (2001-2003) was not such a succes. Did Lampi suddenly loose his touch, or did the technice of the WRcars reach above his level of experience? WRCars of 2012 are above the level experience of Kankkunen.Quote:

Lasse Lampi is working in Škoda now. It's mostly about helping Hänninen but still he is useful for sure.
Lasse lampi makes me sick....he did many wrong things just to promote a paper champ (but hell fast nonetheless)...thank god Loeb squashed the paper record in no time and he will be easily forgotten.
Trust me he is good enough.Quote:
