Privateer Trophy

[alleskids]

[code=php][/code]Now that Kronos Citroen is clearly a privateer team again , we can have a true privateer championship. I count the Stobart team as a privateer, although they have actually the same treatment as Kronos last year: close technical support from the factory. But atleast the level of the drivers is equal to the rest of the field this time (meaning that Loeb was from not from privateer level).
To keep it honest i think we should have the besat 8 results count for this<championship> .
Toni Gardemeister (Mitsubishi) 10 points (1 win)
Jan Kopecky (Skoda) 8 points
Jean-marie Couq (Peugeot) 6 points
Manfrd Stohl (Citroen) 5 points
Gareth MacHale (Ford) 4 points
Mathew Wilson (Ford) 3 points
Frederic Romeyer (Peugeot) 2 points
Henning Solberg (Ford) 1 points

So, who do you think will deserve the titlte best privateer 2007 ? Gardmeister,( if he gets the budget to do more rounds than just the first 3), Galli, Duval (if the Skoda still can be competitve and he learns to use the brakes a beter way) or Latvalla and Solberg ?

You can put Stobart on the group because their Focus WRC06 are very far from the works car. The drivers also give some help, but that Focus... hmmm is the biggest diference.

But a true privateer trophee is good idea. If FIA don't do it, let's do it us.

But Henning said that they would have the same spec as Ford until a new car comes in the summer

I?d say it will between Solberg, Latvala and Gardemeister.

I choose Gardemeister for his experience.

Stohl!!!

M2 Manufacturers should run a previous year homologation model, Focus is 06, so only Focus 06 is for the moment same homologation (not same car, obviously)

For the championship, only ones compeing in all 16 rounds are Wilson, Latavala, Henning and Sthol. We should get Wilson ot of there and one of those 3 shuld be privateer champion (Stohl is my candidate, with Latvala, very close and then Henning)

[I am evil Homer]

Stohl I think too unless Garde gets a bigger programme.

[FabiaFan]

...Stohl (no matter how many rounds Garde will do, cause also Solberg, Carlsson and Latvalla would earn more points...)

[alleskids]

I reckon Gardemeister a more solid (point)finisher than Latvalla, Wilson, Carlsson and Solberg. So my guess is between Gardemeister and Stohl (with only 8 results counting, as there are several drivers doing the complete season). Overal, all 16 results counting my money is on Stohl. solid drive in a reliable but fast car.

To me it'll be either Stohl or Carlsson or...Galli !!! :
