Tis good news especially for Alain Menu, if he can have a better bit of luck regarding non finishes etc.

Great stuff, especially about Menu, he got so many wins last year...but not much in between. Just bad luck.

Huff is a good driver, hopefully he can fight for the title this year.

And Larni is a dark horse, no victories for Chevy but quietly racks up the points.

Yep has to be good news for all concerned as the Chevy is developing into a pretty decent machine now and it wouldn't surprise me if Menu is challenging for the title this year if he can be more consistent and finish instead of retiring. Huff is a decent driver and I'm sure he can pick up a win or two next year if he keeps performing. Larini brings a lot of experience to the team and he will surely be useful in Chevy's bid for the Manufacturers Crown this year.

The Lacetti was brilliant last year, getting so many wins. Thinking back to 2005 it was around 2 secs slower than the BMW, now its quicker on many occasions!

Indeed, it just shows that if you are going to develop a car you have to be prepared to struggle initially before the results start to come later on over the years. A title win for a Chevy win would be a great result for the team over such a short period of time.

100% agree, if a team can develop the car skillfully the results will most likely come, they just have to face there debut year as rather un-compeitive...

To see Menu in a Chevy in 2008 is good but was confirmed for a few months. Larini and Huff weren't save the last months and I hoped they both will be kicked because both didn't show good results last year. But I think Chevy hadn't any options because all good drivers have a team right now.
