I'll second that. I must say I'm looking forward to starting with a new team next season. I have been talking to AutoArt, who are a personal sponsor, and they are very happy to continue to support me and are keen to model both team Citroen cars for the next championship.

*sorry about the day late post, my dog leaned against the reset button last night and I didn't feel like doing it all over again ;D Congratulations to Mitch for a great win in NZ!! Good showing by most but had some excitement on the 2nd stage(Bull). Wayno had stopped on the stage because of engine troubles and Tumbo, blinded by the dust, ran right into the back of him. No injuries but both retirements unfortunetly. Better luck next time guys

FCT Team orders for next yr are that Wayno learns to drive on the road lol.
Source reports that ala Gilles Pannizi Tumbo stepped out of his car to have a word w/ Wayno, before blows could be had team boss came over the radio and told Tumbo to calm down. W/ the new P2000 adjustments the PST impreza had shown good form on the opening stage to take a slender lead. Now sitting 10 points behind the leader PST hope to put this poor showing to rest w/ a few more wins. Infostrada have w/ drawn their sponsership after blaming Tumbo for the off and the team will run the next rally w/ sponsership dollars from SWRT and Wayno after talks last night.
It can also be revealed that SWRT are releasing Wayno to test next season's Citroen after the Tour de Corse but only on snowy stages.

We at Skoda also hope his recovery is quick.
Word through the grapevine is that this season may see an early end as most teams seem to be working on next year. No offical word from the FIA.

***** Spy Shots ***** With talk of the season being scrapped after the serious accident between Wayno and Tumbo and PST struggling to fix their car in time for the next event, our paparazzi photographers snapped this shot of Tumbo testing out next yr's T4 in FULL SPEC!! Yes we have brought you pics of the machine that many believe will take the world manu title easily and a 1-2 in the drivers Our sources also tell us that if PST are not able to fix the serious rollcage damaged before the weekend, that they will merely roll the car over the start ramp to prevent an FIA fine before retiring. You heard it here first

Both team Subaru and myself are very happy with our win. We send our get well soons to Wayno and hope that his car will be ready for the next event if he drives. If it isn't, Team Subaru will donate a brand new Subaru Impreza WRC for the rest of the season.
We are also are happy to say that Lita has been testing the new Impreza and has had some very impressive practice stage times on both tarmac and gravel. Subaru has confirmed its lineup for next season and are very excited about the young driving talent on offer.

****PRESS RELEASE****
SWRT are pleased to announce that Wayno has been released from hospital and is now resting at home comfortably. His headaches have been traced to a build up of fluid on the brain suffered after his recent Rally New Zealand accident. The fluid has been drained and no long term effects are expected to be experienced. Wayno would like to take this opportunity to pass on his gratitude to all who sent their best wishes to him during his recent hospital stay. He is looking forward to getting back in to competition and hopefully still having a shot at winning this years drivers title. SWRT are glad to have him back on board.

**** Press Release ****
PST have been fined $100 000 by the FIA for comments made by management during a recent newpaper interview. The paper which was only released this week quoted management as saying
"We dislike the direction the FIA have been taking the sport, their handling of the situation in NZ could have been better and the medical reponse for Wayno was severely lacking. The damage on both cars rests solely w/ the FIA and their approach of shortening stages and changing start times. The teams are looking at improvements to our sport w/ regards safety and the spectacle for the fans.
PST would like to apologise for any damage the statement has caused

**NEWS REPORT** Photographers caught Ford testing the newest evolution of their Focus. This car will be making its debut next season with drivers Euroracing and RJ. Though relatively unknown to the rallying world, we are told that RJ is going to surprise us! More controversy is surrounding the privately run Subaru team. With Citroen trying to start testing with current Subaru divers, neither team seems to be too happy. Both Wayno and Tumbo have signed contracts with Citroen for next season. As it is right now there will be 5 manuf. teams for next season. Skoda, Ford, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Citroen have all announced their intentions. Here is a list of who is driving for who Subaru- Mitch and rookie Lita Skoda- Capeta and ?? Citroen- Wayno and Tumbo Mitsubishi- Rallying83 and former Suzuki driver Vivski Ford- RJ and Euroracing Skoda are still currently looking for a 2nd driver. The FIA have stated that once Skoda announces a 2nd driver, the new season will begin. (as this on has brought nothing but chaos)
