Een beetje "nieuws" over Mitsubishi: er is budget tot maart 2005 en zo goed als geen geld voor dit jaar (eventueel rally van Catalonie); de toekomst van Panizzi lijkt verzekerd.

MMSP aims for Catalonia

Mitsubishi’s board has approved a budget for its World Championship until the end of March 2005, but a spending squeeze could prevent any further test outings for the Lancer WRC04 this year.
Plans to appear on the Rally of Italy in Sardinia have already been shelved and the Catalonia Rally remains no more than a possibility. Mitsubishi Motorsports is keen to try the car in Spain following an encouraging recent test on asphalt.
MMSP chief Sven Quandt said that he was “more than pleased” with the test, adding: “That’s why I would like to go to Catalonia. Gilles [Panizzi] knows the track well and he is a good driver there.”
Panizzi’s place with MMSP looks assured, but at least one of his younger team-mates - Gigi Galli, Dani Sola or Kristian Sohlberg - is likely to be released within days.
