Proton Satria S2000 MEM

They are good on gravel.. Scotland is a prove of that..

With a full championship turnout McRae may well have finished 6th or so.
Maybe Proton will just stick with APRC where opposition is less strong. Pity really, great looking car but no money (yet).

How much are Proton actually putting in? MEM are doing a fantastic job on limited funds, I feel.

Even if both retired in Barum, it at least seem like the engine issue is fixed.

Good, for them so they can start focusing on other issues !
If someone like it as much as me, they should think of buying this one; http://paultan.org/2010/03/30/proton...-racing-145hp/

Proton used new fuel in Barum. According to press materials of American VP Racing it gave some 4 Hp to Satria compared to previously used fuel.

I'd love Panizzi to come back, but its unlikely. About as unlikely as Schumacher to return to F1 after 3 years out, hah!

Hmmm

After testing two days in Italy, Panizzi said the car is not so bad, the big problem is the torque is in high RPM only !

[Sulland]

Ok but is that a Proton issue, or a S2000 generic issue ?

Has Panizzi driven S2000 before ?

[Mirek]

Yes, he drove Sanremo 08 in 207 and tested Fabia several times (for Skoda Motorsport and with Julien Maurin).

[Xsara Fan]

Has Panizzi driven S2000 before ?

He was the main test-driver of Peugeot 207 S2000.

Who was the first to drive the Proton? A rally in France, maybe Var I think? Car had mechanical or electrical problems and did not finish. Can't remember.
