Today is the day when my new car finally saw a daylight, we have been working a lot to hear its engine start and now its done. Its a huge relief. Today we also went to test the car out a little bit, it seemed to work fine, probably gonna need some setup fine tuning but it seems that there are no problems with the car it self. Here are some pictures from the tests:

Lada Samara 1600. Probably some of you wonder why Im not driving my old Pug S2000 or any other.. lets say.. more fresh car. Well, there are several reasons. My contract with Nijo Racing team ran out and after a long discussion with its manager Chris Williamson we came to a decision that I cant be a part of his team anymore. Basically because I totaled too many cars and it cost a lot of money to him. Of course it also made a huge hole in my finances which is the second reason why Im going to drive a Samara this season, Im pretty much out of money and I cant afford anything really better. I just hope that Samara will endure my driving style during the season and if it will, Im gonna be happy. Hopefully its gonna bring me some sponsors so next season I can get back to some 4WD class.

Also, since I`ve pretty much ran out of money, my co-pilot left me. Although tomorrow Im hoping to sign a contract with a new candidate for this position, my old friend Andrejs Pestovs. As he decided to stop being a rally driver, I offered him this place and he seemed to be happy with it. Tomorrow we just have to finalize the terms of contract and thats it. After that we obviously will need a lot of practices together to understand each other better.

While me and Andrejs are going to finalize the contract, Samara is going to be painted by a professional skin maker. Not sure how its going to end but I have a good feeling and hopefully tomorrow Im gonna be able to upload some pictures with the new livery.

I also wanted to add that even though Im Grade 1 driver, Im going to suck big time this season. I have no idea how to drive FWD`s what so ever... And yeah, those who still didnt know (and who got this far reading anyway) - Im using keyboard now, not my old lovely G27 wheel.

Oh yeah, and here is my car which I used to NOT forget about rallying during the off-season.. Like a practice car, a lovely car, although it has about 3 or 4 horsepower only..
