McRae breaks silence on Xsara WRC
Colin McRae has given his first impressions of the Xsara he tested in Wales. McRae said: "I am sure I can win with [the Xsara], and why not the Monte? It is one of the rallies that the car already has a realistic chance of winning on. My record on the rally is not so good but this car has huge potential."
"The car is particularly good on fast sections and under braking. The feel of the car is more positive than I have been used to recently but some work is needed on slower sections." So anyone going to tip Colin for a Monte win then? (or will Loeb make it 1-0 in the Citroen team challenge?? |

Loeb will leave McRae in the dust (or snow or gravel or tarmac ... ) It'll be "Battle of the Accents" at Citroen this year too.

"Why can't you guys make my car go as fast as McRae's?" Oh, and Sj's dig at McRae's English is impressive coming from someone who's kith and kin struggle to get to grips with their native tongue. Last edited by jock25; 7 Dec 2002 at 17:52. |

I say Colin ends up wrapped around a tree, Carlos goes to play in the ditch upside down, and Loeb wins.
