WRC » SWRT: New car won't be used for 'little while'.

"We are pretty pleased actually with the way things have gone. We would really rather it was 39 points, because Petter [Solberg] should have been able to finish second in Argentina without that problem on the last day. But 33 points is the best start to the season we have had for a while," he continued.

"I think both of our drivers have shown really good pace. It was quite obvious in Argentina that Petter was much more comfortable with the car and was going very strongly.

"Chris has obviously had a very good start to the season - and has had three podiums. Those are excellent results and it obviously helps to build his confidence.

"I think both of them are now really looking forward to getting the new car and to getting on with the season."

As for what can be achieved on the fifth round in the championship, Taylor said the targets remain the same as they have been on the other four events this season.

"Obviously we are still using the old car and whilst we do that the expectations are to try and keep getting decent points for both drivers," he re-affirmed.

"I'd like to see them both in the top five or top six places and that is what we should be aiming for. I think we have proved on each event so far this year that the car is capable of that."
