I think it's starting to show that the Mitsu package ain't going to be challenging this season already.... I know it's only two stages, but Delecour is a relative tarmac "specialist" and ain't doing that well. I won't even mention that other ****-driver...

 

the mitsu team chose their tires for the stage that was cancelled and wished they didn't hence the slow pace, but TM had the same tires and broke no sweat in leading the pack. i guess it is a driver issue, duh!

 

Collin and Tommi have a shot at the driver's title but the FIA might as well give the 2002 Manufacturer's title to the Peugeot today. They were the champions last year and they've added reigning world driver's champion Richard Burns to their stable without giving up any of the principal players. They have 3 of the 6 best drivers in the world and their 4th stringer is better than anybody else's # 2 except Ford's Carlos Sainz.

It's going to be a long year for Mitsubishi

 

move colin to the mitsu team and there would be a chance.

 

You see, what I'd love to see is Tommi and Colin in the same car... that would be very interesting... I don't think Carlos has the same speed that he used to have although he's still very fast... He goes down the same way as Juha Kankkunen did, age taking it's toll...

 

mk,

who is that other **** driver you mention, Claudius or Maxi?

 

Well, you know it's Alister "I'm-only-in-the-WRC-cause-my-brother-is-good" McRae
