Title: What Is Up With Prodrive And Subaru?!?
Post by: GmanJoe on August 10, 2002, 01:58:03 PM

They suck this year! Their cars are breaking down....the tires are too soft....suspension ain\'t tuned right....Makinen and Soberg barely in contention when the car IS running or when they haven\'t CRASHED! :mad:

Well...as long as Ford doesn\'t win. :p

Well, I was out of town over the weekend, and couldn\'t watch the day by day coverage of the Rally, but I did see the XS summary tonight.  Makinen must be mad as hell right now.  Yeah, lots of people are hating Prodrive these days after all the f**k ups.  However, McRae\'s car burst into flames, so Subaru aren\'t the only ones with problems right now.

It\'s clear that Peugeot is pouring HEAPS of cash into their team; not only in driver salaries and marketing, but also the unglamourous things that actually win rallies... like research & development and hiring top technical staff.  At this point no one\'s going to win a championship until Peugeot decides they don\'t want it anymore.

McRae is driving the death trap, hes perfectly suited for it considering he loves to wreck.

Ah...Solberg finished in the podium! And Makinen got 6th! He actually finished a race AND got in the top six! WOOOO!

Too bad about Mitsubishi. They have no real good drivers compared to Peugot, Ford and Surbaru. They\'ve got 8 points total! Unheard of from Mitsu. But Subaru is in a distant 3rd place from Ford\'s 78 points (Subaru has 35 I think). Peugot has this year all but locked.
