"We started this project last year, it has been strongly developed in the last months and in 2010 we will take part in the Italian Championship with 2 cars. I would like to thank Škoda Motorsport for their support. We are proud to have this opportunity, and we are sure that Jan Kopeckı will show his skills on the Italian roads too”.Quote:

It's a pity, on the other hand it's also a shame that maybe Proton did not bow to those wishes.
Maybe Atkinson is a real possibility as I am sure he wouldn't have a problem with the Asian events? He probably wouldn't be as quick as Duval on asphalt events, but he would be quicker on gravel I suspect.
Gardemeister, IMO, would be a safe pair of hands for both surfaces but wouldn't be as quick as the top IRC drivers on gravel or tarmac.
Anyone else in the pipeline?
The young Spanish driver (19 years old) Jose Antonio Suarez "Rocket" in Azores with Mitsubishi Evo X.

Thanks! It's allways good to know somethig about our visitors. Two years ago another young driver from spain came and most of the people, including local media didn't have a clue about him. I'm talking about Yeray Lemes. Of course he could not battle for the lead but his driving was really thrilling.
Let´s see how many of all this names will come to Azores really. :D
Well, Lemes is another high-talented driver with two big problems:Quote:

We will see what he can do in JWRC, and if "Cohete" doesn't adopt Spanish bad habits by racing outside our frontiers...
Mikkelsen is coming :)Quote:
