CA:
Yeah, it is difficult to show your potential - but like I said, we are all dealing with it at the team. They understand where I am and a lot of people outside the team probably don’t. It is easier for the guys in the team to analyse my results and see what is doing on, because we know all the facts, where as it is easy for people to put us down if they don’t know all that is going on.
Q:
You said there, the team know the facts - and as they have renewed your contract that is a big vote of confidence isn’t it?
CA:
It is good and obviously I hope as much as everyone that we can get the car back on track and then we can show our potential.
Q:
There are four events left on the 2006 schedule, what do you think you can do?
CA:
It is still going to be tough. We are not kidding ourselves at all. We knew that going into the last couple of rallies and what we expected came true, so we are just working hard now, testing and trying to understand the car even more. No one is underestimating what it will take to get the car back on track.
Q:
Two of those final four events take place in your 'neck of the woods' sort of speak globally, in New Zealand and Australia. Will that give you an added incentive to really push?
CA:
We always push. I would love to do a great result down there. It is not going to be easy, although we led the rally last year but I think at the moment it is going to be difficult to do the same. We will just have to wait and see.
Q:
Talking of Rally Australia, it doesn’t look like it will be on the calendar next season. That must be quite a blow for you?
CA:
It is massively disappointing, but hopefully we can get it back there as soon as possible. It is a big market for
Subaru and obviously important for me. I’m optimistic we will have an event there in the not to distant future.
Q:
You have a test in Sicily on Thursday and Friday, what’s the focus for that test?
CA:
Just further development on the car basically - working on what we know we have to concentrate on.
