ok,

Its the middle of December and no sign of the finished Gordini. Are they still on track to get the finished car to the start line considering the start of the rally is about 3 weeks away?

I must say Robby's cutting it a bit fine.......

There are sponsor projects going on that will be released in due time. Until then, all I can stress is patience. It won't be any later than Jan 5th.

That makes sense. Gotta protect your interests, both as a race team and as a marketing company. If company X whom has given you a boat load of cash wants you to wait I would say waiting would make the most sense. Lock it up like Fort Knox.. intellectual property is a very rare and valuable thing in this information age.
