More MINI WRC news from our friends at Autosport.com. This report saying that MINI and Prodrive are not fretting the likely absence of Marcus Gronholm from their stable of drivers this season.
“I don’t think we’re missing anything. Working with Marcus Gronholm is great, you put him in the car and he goes flat out. You get very simple feedback from him: ‘It does this, it does this and it does this.’ It’s nice to know where you are with the car, but until you asked me whether we would miss a big name driver, I honestly hadn’t thought we were missing something at all.
<p>I’ll tell you what they <i>will</i> miss: a decent Cd. That thing is a freaking brick.</p>
