If you crash it everybody is angry at you. Ther were a few jouralists to dtrive it after me (some spanish guys also, a guy from Sport Auto & AMS and an Italian guy), so I would spoil their day (for which they have travelled quite far). That would be the worst. Who pays for damage? The car company (Peugeot in this case). They know that we are not there to crash the car and will not be reckless with it, but accidents do happen, so they assume the risk in exchange for publicity. Anyway, beside some more local affairs (group N Evos or such) I have not heard of journalist carshing a rally car in a situation like this, at least not so much taht it couldn't be fixed imedialtelly. The end result on my day was 3 sump guards, a front bumper and a few sets of gravel tires ...
bmwpower: I have thought of that, but no thanks. I've been with those guys (from BMW, Pirelli and so) for a few days and it's mostly a very repetitive, sometimes boring work. You have to be really god and have the job for long time to be let's say suspension development test driver for BMW, doing laps of Nurburgring ...
