 Potentially a risky move to develop the car in the full glare of the WRC circus, but maybe the Czech's are optimistic. I hope the car does well out of the box. Last edited by SJ Spode; 5 Jun 2003 at 15:33. |

I reckon it will be much better than the biscuit tin they were running. A top four contender next year, possibly?

Could it be any worse?
Yes, they have bulletproof reliability. But what good is it to even show up if you don't have a snowball's chance in hell to win? They need this car just to keep hope alive, to avoid getting stuck in that back-of-the-pack Groundhog Day Minardi mindset. |

Yeah, they have nothing to lose. Even if it's not that competitive the best way to find out is to do some rallies. Doing part of 2003 is better than to turn up at Monte Carlo expecting loads and being suitably embarrassed!!!
