Eskimos' Hundred Words for Snow?!
So Citroen are having another very good year in the WRC. Strange thought came to mind whist I was watching a WRC program that had a item in it about how many languages that are spoken in the teams.
And it made me think…..
If you have a French Driver, French Co-driver, pace notes in French, French Team and French Manufacture. Do things get communicated better then a Norwegian Driver, Welsh Co-driver, English Pace notes, English Team and Japanese Manufacture?

Absolutely. If you watched the SWRT documentaries, you'd see that head campaign leader in Japan says communication via Japan and Banbury is quite a challenge, concerning language and time zones. I think most of SWRT by now understand Petter well enough (allthough his Norwegian is lowsy), so there will be no encounters to communication. Anywho, I do think Citroën has an advantage here.

yeah I think they speak english well enough..
if you see fe. Valentino Rossi, he got 5 world titles with Jerry Burgess, while Valentino does not speak english proper!RIP Marco Simoncelli
I think the biggest question is, as usual per gravel rallies, will the Hyundais hold together? Long day with no service tomorrow...
