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.

It's funny, in the same article McRae admits that he doesn't speak any French (but also that some say his English isn't much cop either)

Three reasons, Colin. Makkinen, Loeb, and you.

He won't need to know how to say very much in French. Though his engineers should perhaps teach him how to say:

"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.

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

No dig at Colin. I was paraphrasing a comment from Colin himself as you can see at http://www.autosport.com/newsitem.asp?id=21422&s=8
