McRae aims for full fitness in Cyprus
Colin McRae believes that his broken little finger, injured on the Tour de Corse, will be well on the mend by the time the World Rally Championship hits Cyprus next month.
The Ford driver scored a single heroic point in Spain last weekend, despite competing with a heavily strapped finger. With four weeks until the next round, McRae thinks he won't be as restricted on the Cyprus Rally.
"Hopefully it will be easier next time, it will still be giving me pain and it's going to take a long time to get any movement back," he told AUTOSPORT's sister publication Motorsport News. "But in Cyprus there shouldn't be any danger of opening the wound again.
"Hopefully I'll have more use of the hand and I won't have to have it splinted," he added. "But the big problem is the tendon was damaged so badly it's going to take an awful lot of physio to get it going again. If I can get rid of the splint and I don't have to be careful about banging the finger again, then obviously I've full movement of the three fingers and my thumb which, by Cyprus, I hope is going to be the case."
