That whinning scary pussy attitude. I doubt Mr Capito knows he speaks on behalf of a WRC team.
A little reminder from above wouldn't hurt.

That whinning scary pussy attitude. I doubt Mr Capito knows he speaks on behalf of a WRC team.

I must say, words of Jost Capito during last year are one of the reasons why Volkswagen Motorsport is not sympathetic team for me...
Not so often winning teams are sympathic, Capito is not paid to be nice but to be World champion and he has succeeded in that, twice, which is not too bad. I agree for me VW is not my favorite, but they have done a great job.
Capito is just making interesting what Ogier will make boring:)
Bang on mate - I was about to post exactly the same re the 'handicap'..Quote:

Good to know there's a lot of agreement that it does make sense.
Four times, actually. He was Ford Motorsport director when Ford won manu titles in 2006 and 2007.Quote:

Nobody is bringing VW's success into question here, it's just Capito's idiotic commentsQuote:

let's hope corsica will replace it
Autohebdo wrote that negotiations between Lotos and PH Sport are now broken.
Only private program with Hyundai or M-Sport left for Kubica.
According to Autohebdo, negotiations between Kubica and PH Sport has broke off, so no DS 3 WRC for him next year.

Why such a long time until they debut? They are already testing this year. One more full year should be enough.Quote:

Aside from the year's experience from competing in the championship it would not be the best way to spend their money. Hopefully they will see sense and make a GT-86 WRC!
I guess one reason is the Japanese corporate decision making process, which isn't the fastest as we know.Quote:

@Mirek, for the "over 400km" editions I think you need to go back to the 90's, before Mr. Prodrive was going to make the sport more popular and better for TV... ;)

Won't happen. Unfortunately.
Clearly that's just sitting there waiting fo rthe inevitable decision that Corsica is in the WRC to be put back in the ERC.Quote:

so maybe Fiesta with properly working gearshift system will be good for him
