PFR will be a shake down event for both the car and myself. Driving in the right seat will take some getting used to and I plan to enter more events this year to become more acquainted with thecar," Says Scott. "I'm looking forward to getting back to the natural side of the car!" Bob mentioned, as he had spent close to 15 years rallying in Eng land and should be able to make the transition to the new seating configurationmore readily than Scott.
