“FUR ON THE ASPHALT.”
Greg the Bunny
“How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and of oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life?”
Charles Lindbergh
“The testing we've done on asphalt so far has been good and we're pleased with the starting ground. Petter certainly has a shot at winning every rally, but our eye will always be on the championship. We start each event looking to win, but we won't sacrifice points at the expense of the title. If a win is on the cards in Monte Carlo we will go for it, but if the weather doesn't suit us we'll strategically go for points - this isn't a case of Monte Carlo or bust!”
David Lapworth
“Gaining more experience on asphalt is one of Chris's development objectives this year. The challenging stages in Ireland will be great practice for him. He needs all the asphalt experience he can get but, in particular, coming from sunny Australia, he hasn't had many chances to drive in the wet - that shouldn't be a problem in Ireland!”
“We expect that prices for certain commodities like cement, asphalt, PVC pipes and labor to continue to increase, and that contractors will make sure they put that price increase in their bids. It's a guessing game.”
David Martin
“At some point, and it varies from year to year, the asphalt plant shuts down. When it's cold, you can't lay asphalt. We want it done before the plants shut down. We intend to do everything we can to make that happen.”
David Troyer
“It's thinner than conventional asphalt, and that's where the savings comes in.”
