Doesnt look too good imo

Who cares what it looks like, as long as it can win.

 

can panzinni finally shift with paddles? if he can we are contenders, if not we are screwed..yet.. again.

 

Agreed. The fact that they are even competing considering the money crunch they're going through is a good sign.

 

Looks just like last years...

 

yeah...but the only contender they'll have soon will be subaru...NEWS...citroen and peugeot will be leaving WRC in 2006 and on.... so yeah...MAYBE they will win next year.

 

Ford also does the WRC

 

What they need to do is bring back gruppe N. So Audi, Lancia , and all them come back to WRC.

 

i think mitsu needs to get out and fix company first and do this in 5 years...

 

You mean Group B. WRC officials will never allow 600 hp monsters to run around again (had more hp than the chassis and suspension can handle). Too many people died when Group B was active and today people would sue. Besides, it was noted by Nicky Grist that today's WRC class cars are faster than the Group B cars because the handling of the cars has improved that much.

Even if Citroen and Peugeot leaves, there's still Ford, Hyundai, Skoda, Subaru and there's talks of Renault joining. WRC is far from having a dimished field.

 

^ totally agreed. the team director for peugeot made it sound as if there leaving was a finalized decision, and there are plenty of car companies that arent in, that could be if the new rules do go into affect in 06. mazda, honda, vw, ect. (yes i know that vw is in via skoda)

 

I don't see any picture. Can somebody repost it or list the URL?

EDIT: There it is. Took forever to load even on my T3 at work. Looks the same. Beautifully functional. Forms follows function. Learn to luv it. Everyone else will if it wins.

 

[edit] hate when I reply and post gets edited

 

they need at least a year to test their new car. It's very aerodynamically proficient.

Also, they're running stock 6 speed manual and not sequential, which makes it harder as well as it doesn't have the center diff. etc.

next years going to be awesome for them i'm sure.

 

yeah but the ones leaving are the champs for several years now.
