Press conference.
Q:
Michal, your third year in the JWRC, but for 2008 a new team. How are you fitting in with Suzuki?
Michal Kosciuszko:
I hope we can try to fight for the title. It is possible for Suzuki to win the title. We have the potential.
Q:
You had a bit of bad luck during last year. What is the strategy for this year and will your approach to certain events be different?
MK:
I like to push a lot harder from the beginning. This is a new rally for the Juniors; pace notes are important.
Q:
Michal, have you carried out any extra training for the heat?
MK:
I have tried to prepare correctly for the season. I am in a good condition. I hope all is okay.
Q:
Some of the well-known names in the JWRC have moved up to WRC; Aava, Andersson and Rautenbach in particular. Who do you think will be the main competition this year?
MK:
It is very important to fight. There are new teams and new cars. This is a big opportunity for me to get a good place. I hope to finish well. It is normal that some teams and drivers leave. We will try and beat the new opposition. It is not easy but possible.
Q:
How was the recce, what do you think of the car? How was shakedown?
