Hänninen says he aims to get the drive, but refers in his dry sense of humor how the team bosses have a luxury problem as everyone who have sometimes had a rally license had call them already. He concentrates to testing now, praises the team personal, also for the fact they listen to and react to his suggestions and ideas. They develop the car to go nose first. Finnish tests continue until Friday. After that Hänninen alone have around 20 test days left. Team's annual budget is said to be 80 million euros. There's short interview with Nandan as well.

So that must be a bonus for Juho, the lot of testing. He´s a well deserved driver in the team next year.

Besides that I above mentioned Petter which I strongly believe will contribute to the team. Maybe a third Nordic driver would siut the team? PT, and we have a setup like VW, with youngster beside the more experienced ones.

Also you would think the first thing they would do would be buy a WRC Fiesta off Msport and copy it/improve it, Wonder if they did...?

Edit...maybe i'm wrong on the suspension?

Please build a road going street version of it like the mitsubishi evo rs types. 300hp 4wd with nice mechanical diffs and wide body. This could be a nice image builder for the brand. A fwd polo like vw is a no go that brings nothing.

they can have my deposit already.

It wont happen until the rules from the FIA require the bodywork and driven wheels on the rally car match the homologated road car. aka GpA and GpN style.
