But a bit slim for an mechanics hand/arm to proper scoop the rubber and rubbish out.

Or maybe not, when looking even closer.
You pull the slot out, screen is attached to slot, you can then brush the screen off. Can be done rapidly during a pit stop.

ArnageWRC should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Toyota and a blue livery......

Personally, the Castrol white, green & red always looked the best during the glory days of TTE.... (and of course the turbo cheating)...

However, I wish them all the luck - I think they'll need it.

I'm a little surprised but it looks good nonetheless. Anyways, it seems #7 has red mirrors and #8 white.

If the Total sponsorship was that big then Pug would have had no reason to pull out... I dont think it amounts to anything like enough to fund that much.

Maybe I didnt word it well. But I was saying that if while sponsoring Pug Total provided enough money to fund the racing there would have been no need for them to leave. Thereby comparing that to the Toyota situation it seems to me that the Total money would not cover the cost of the racing after LM as Lasse was suggesting. (especially as their presence on the car is much less)

I was talking about Toyota, don't see how Peugeot and their withdrawal is relevant for that.

Toyotas plan was to race one car in the WEC after Le Mans, all i was saying was i hoped with a new sponsor, that they would raise the bar and race both cars.

All this talk about a learning year and a limited race schedule leads me to believe they have been running on a strict budget for this season.

Wow apparently Sarrazin won't test tomorrow after falling off a bike today. He's sustained facial injuries according to John Dagys.

Should be okay to race, but a blow all the same!

Bad for him.

I just read the EI interview with him, which presumably was taken a bit earlier today.
