Scroll back a few pages and that should answer your question.

Regarding the car they have tried many design ideas during the last year. I´ve talked to Steen many times and he thinks the car is starting to fall into place. They´ve tried many things for example different motor positions and so on. If the car ever will come to production I don´t know, Steen told me it was to advanced for the general driver...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction on the US Driver issue.
Its sad in a way, but many have made good arguments as to the lack of US presence at the worlds, and there will always be another TC Worlds in 2 years.

Well......it looks like the USA boys need some really good runs tonight.

Unofficially Paul has a 10th......18th.....and 25th

Rick has a 16th......22nd and 25th place finish.

I would love to say they are just trying to make things dramatic.........but I don't think thats the case.
