Seefeld, Dec 03: Giancarlo Fischella tested his resistance in abseiling exercises and said he was looking forward to improve from his performance this year, when he won first Grand Prix ever in Brazil, while driving for Jordan. "I hope we have a competitive car next year, we hope it can be like it because I need to drive a good car," The 30 year-old, who finished the season in 12th place with 12 points in the drivers standings, was hopeful that the time and effort he spent in the abseiling training programme in Austria will help him to achieve better results with Sauber in 2004. "It's another new sport which I like it and is vey important for training because on the hand, on the shoulders and on the body, it's very good training."
