WRC Testing

[Mirek]

Since that time there was extensive development ongoing in the IRC together with Andreas Mikkelsen, Toni Gardemeister, Patrik Flodin and others (Alex Bengue or Roman Kresta also at least once started with Hankook in IRC, Sandro Wallenwein in German championship etc.). I can't answer Your question though

That PX60 AUW Fiesta WRC has got a hard life...

How are hankook tires now? I drove with them in 2009 and couldn't believe the difference when we switched to Michelin. The hankook soft was like a Michelin medium and michelins were noticeably lighter if I remember correctly.

I don`t know exactly either, but from what I have heard the gravel tire isn`t all that bad, some small problems with the Tarmac tire but as Mirek says they test and develope quit intensivly so they should get that up to pace as well.
Also Hankook as a factory is getting really big so they definately have the resources!

Not knowing him other than 'oh, it's Maurin' and google not helping, where does the money come from to sustain the programmes he has been running? Yacco always having been on the car made me think that he might be involved in that company, or is it just good sponsorship work?

PS - will delete this when answered to keep the thread clean for more on topic posts..

Yacco funded for several years now alot of French drivers.
