Which leads nicely on to Phil Bennett's piece on DSC!  |
Re. Bennets article, it may be harsh, but petrol privateers may have to settle for the best of the rest tag in 2007 (as they did against the petrol R8!), but in return recieve greater media/sponsorship coverage for their efforts.
By 2008 we should see greater petrol/diesel equivallence, customer R10's/Peugeots, and maybe new factory competitors (who will eventually make customer chassis available).
