Okay...from what I remember, I think Colin McRae' contract (as well as Sainz) with Ford is up this year. So, then I see this little blub over at Rally Live:

http://rally.racing-live.com/en/head...24093210.shtml

So I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe, that Mitsubishi in all their wisdom could maybe ditch Delacour and pick up the other brother (since Mitsu already has Alister McRae) and have 'em race their own Evos. *sigh* Then again, might not be having this problem if Tommi didn't jump ship. Heck, I know Petter's contract with Subaru is up, maybe nab him...not the greatest driver but he's young.

That would be fantastic!
Colin is absolutely mad, but relaxed

I know several people who know François Delecours and all of them told me the same thing: he's an arrogant *******

One guy who impressed me a lot was Didier Auriol at the race of champions in Gran Canaria (where they do two parallel tracks at the same time). He touched the sidewall in a hairpin and rolled over once, completely, and got back on the wheels. The car continued IMMEDIATELY as soon as the wheels were back on the ground. Really strange. The in car camera then showed him rolling over from inside, and you could see him shifting down the gears while the car was on the roof! That was one of the coolest things I've seen in Rally

Wow...from what you wrote, he sounds like the Hardest of the Hardcore. Do you remember/know how he finished though? Not saying he's not capable, just curious what the flip did to his car, co-driver, and himself.

I'm with you on that pj. As for Didier Auriol he is a good driver and when motivated can be very fast (Claudius, I think that clip you were referring to was when his contract was almost up and he was looking for a new ride, I could be wrong). The only thing I don't like about him from what I've seen is, he is a huge whiner and I believe that's why he doesn't have a ride in the WRC any more.

I like both McRae and Sainz and I think Petter has good potential. Any of them would be great. Anyone know when Delecours contract is up?

Burns is the best driver at the moment Wait till solberg becomes the #1 driver for a team...then he'll really kick some ***. I really like Rovanpera too.

Got to love a driver who's aggressive enough to wipe out his own machine to get a new one before his contract expires. I like him! The whole point of this was to discuss new drivers for Mitsu and see who's available. Stickin' to it, I say keep Alister and get Solberg, since as "b" mentioned to me, Colin is expensive.

Plus you never know how many half million dollar cars Colin is going to crash in a year.

What The Hell Is Wrong With Mitsubishi, Nab Colin Before Citroen Does, Mann Mitsubishi Has Some Rebuildin To Do Since Tommi Went To Subaru, Tommi Is Really Havin A Bad Season Maybe He'll Consider Goin Back To Mitsubishi When His Contract Is Up That Would Be Cool If They Had The McRae Brothers And Tommi Leading The Way For Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi Should Add 2 More Cars In Total Of 4 For Better Chances Of Winning Like Peageot. Look At Peageot Now They Have 115 Manufacturers Pts So Far And Mitsubishi Has Only 8 Manufacturers Pts
