Mitsu's Poor Showing

Is mitsu having a poor showing in this year's WRC or what? I can't believe that Makinnen is as high as he is. What about that crash he had last year in the Corsica Rally. He's lucky to be alive.

Does Speedchannel show Group N rallies?

Their WRC coverage this year is way better -finally, an hour for each leg of the rally! The Evo's are breaking down more because they rushed the car out the end of last year. They're bringing out version 2 of the Evo VII WRC later this spring.

I guess it is a rebuilding year for Hopefully, a more reliable racecar and experienced driving will put them in a more respectable placing. I can understand that no one can be #1 all of the time but, man with the evo 7 coming out it would help out their PR.

If you go to the gallery section you'll see several pics of the Rhys Millen Evo. I took those when there was a SCCA ProRally in Oregon. I almost made a mess when I saw it.

Mitsu at WRC

It's like rgdigital said. Their car was rushed out the door too soon. The stage 2 car will be running the next rally (Cyprus, I believe). They have the talent and experience to win, but it won't happen on the tarmac this year. Those pesky frogs are just too good on the road. The season is very long, they could still do well.

The 7 WRC is a total lemon of a car and the drivers are rubbish. Like I have said before, Delecour is a former mediocre driver and Alister McRae is a present mediocre driver. To say that this McRae needs time is quite funny, check how old he is I'd understand that if he was 21 or something, hell in rally even a 25 year old is still considered a youngster.
You should also remember that the 7 is a WRC and not a Group A car as the 6 used to be. This means that the WRC car has almost nothing to do with the street version a lot less than the 6. Also check which Evos rule in Group N...

did anybody watch the Argentina Rally last night? So after like 7 rounds team has 6 points!!! Over 55 behind man. leader, and just above hyundai and Skudra...Give me a skudra!!!, Delecouir (sp?) flipped his VII and Allistair lost a place when he stuck the side on a rock. Makinnen flips his car like 8 times at the last corner of the last stage...dramatic finish. Peugot wins, let's pray for the 8 soon
