The Mitsubishi Lancer is a compact car produced by the Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi since 1973. The Lancer has been marketed as the Colt Lancer, Dodge Colt, Plymouth Colt, Chrysler Valiant Lancer, Chrysler Lancer, Eagle Summit, Hindustan Lancer, Soueast Lioncel, and Mitsubishi Mirage in various countries at different times, and has been sold as the Mitsubishi Galant Fortis in Japan since 2007. It has also been sold as Mitsubishi Lancer Fortis in Taiwan with a different facelift than the Galant Fortis. In Japan, it was sold at a specific retail chain called Car Plaza.

also it's so weird to think that a year from that picture, Senna had left McLaren, Williams started to have Rothmans as their title sponsor (defining their race suits as well) and Benetton likewise started to have Mild Seven as their title sponsor (who also defined their race suits)

Audi had not originally planned to participate in the African marathon events, but now found it necessary to enter the penultimate round, the Rallye Côte d’Ivoire, due to their title battles with Opel.

On the final day, she continued to suffer from mechanical problems and had the complete fuel injection system changed. For the next time control, Röhrl and Mouton arrived almost simultaneously. With only 600 km to go, Mouton went off the road and rolled her car. She drove the severely damaged quattro for five more kilometers before ultimately giving up. Röhrl inherited the win and became the first two-time world champion in the WRC. Having lost her father, Mouton did not dwell on losing the title

rustic helm
well, the fact it went downhill proved change was needed
thin pecan
yeah likely
rustic helm
he should have led this change instead of going back to leading the team
thin pecan
his mistake was going off to make a car brand
i think there is also no doubt that there was some poor leadership within mclaren byt whitmarsh
rustic helm
why is the McLaren automotive division a mistake
thin pecan
as succesful as that is what followed was a complete loss of focus onto its f1 project
rustic helm
yes, Whitmarsh is my point
well, look at where it led them
and look at where it led another team that didn't do this diversification and focused on F1 solely: Williams
who's the more successful outfit of the 2
thin pecan
i do also wonder how things changed with mercedes when daimler had sold its shares to focus on its own project
williams relied too much on the past and missed opps with bmw
rustic helm
it's a problem caused by Whitmarsh
thin pecan
it took them to a downward spiral of engine partners who also didn't last
cosworth
toyota
cosworth
renault
and then the short term fix with mercedes
rustic helm
they didn't rely too much on the past, they just couldn't change their direction structure, and when BMW left they had no money remaining. and figured th ey relied on the BMW strength too much and produced poor chassis in the meantime. That's why they haven't won any title in the 2000s while they should have
thin pecan
of course
but it was their pride about their history that prevented them being picked up by bmw
rustic helm
McLaren could afford the loss of Mercedes thanks to their car division, that's going stronger by the year
thin pecan
the stubborn attitude they had with bmw was what cost them
rustic helm
Williams could never make big benefits from the Advanced Tech division
thin pecan
you even had two drivers on two sides at the team
jpm the williams guy
ralf the bmw guy
rustic helm
no it's not their history, they couldn't change their organisation while Newey was with them, and he was a big part of their success in the 90s. Just two aging dudes who couldn't adapt, but not necessarily living in the past
thin pecan
i rather think their view on how they wanted to run the team was based off their past
it is a great shame
hopefully they can get back on track
rustic helm
hmm ye that's true
thin pecan
williams have a lot of moments of chaos between the years though i think about though
1981 with carlos and jones
and 1986 with piquet and mansell
i'm suprised they got so much success with the amount of things going wrong

but i would say the speeds that the cars were achieving would still be enough to cause a fatality
poor facilites at the track and the cars breaking up so easily contributing to that
