	Interview with Bobby Rahal
		Bobby Rahal: How it came about was -- I think there was a race in May, a Grand Prix and Derek Bell on the broadcast says that I'm going to be the next CEO of Jaguar, which is news to me because nobody had said boo to me.
		Bobby Rahal: Well, I think first off, I would not have accepted this position had I not been fully confident that Jaguar cars, Ford Motor Company, Neil Ressler were not 100% committed this enterprise.
		Bobby Rahal: To answer your second question, yes, it is. Eddie Irvine is the lead driver and Luciano Burti (phonetic) he was the Formula 1 test driver this year; he is going to be the second driver.

	Bobby Rahal Special: The Taming of the Crew
		Bobby Rahal has to be a brave man: taking up the job of Jaguar CEO promises hard work for the man who has made a name for himself in CART.
		Rahal's comments were those expected from a 'new boy' about to move to Europe and into a world that was going to be very new to him, despite all his previous racing experience.
		In Bobby Rahal, though, Jaguar have a racing veteran who has both feet firmly planted on the ground and who can at last, perhaps, provide the team with the combination of stability and strong leadership that they so desperately require.
