Thanx Mirek, I wasn't able to find it.
Judging by first five stages of Ciocco the impression was right and the 208 R5 seems to be a bit slow (at least for the moment). I know it's hard to compare with Basso's CNG car but Andreucci is reasonably slower than Nucita and Scandola with normal S2000 cars.

At the moment when 208 starts officialy for first time, MSport finished building 50th Fiesta. They really gained a lot, lot of data during that year with many cars running in different conditions and improved the car a lot in recent months. 208 for sure will be competitive sooner than later, but clearly they need improving. They even recently made a lot of development tests, mainly in south France, but they have no comparision with competition.
Not FIAs fault if Peugeot didn't present a compliant car.Quote:

Andreucci was better on day two in Ciocco, or maybe it was just because the other guys were cruising. Even so, wasn't Basso expected to be slower than normal because he was running gas?
We dont know the rules under which Basso started. CNG car must have some changes, we dont know how big was restrictor etc. So it is not so much comparatable...Quote:
