Proton Satria S2000 MEM

The first test will be on tuesday on the shakedown according to PG´s homepage.

What shakedown is that supposed to be, because there is no shakedown in Monte Carlo.

Ajej. And this is the engine that supposed to be reliable - with no tests?

I have just been watching the Asia Pacific Rally Championship TV coverage and for the last round in China (in November last year) they mention that Proton changed to a new engine (which got delayed in customs and almost prevented them starting). I wonder if this was how they were testing the new engine? Run it in an event that has less publicity..?

End result was Proton cars came 2nd and 3rd in the rally and interestingly suffered none of the issues they had experienced earlier in the season (in earlier rounds they blew several engines with a variety of issues). Infact it was the best result of the APRC season for Proton and they were consistently ahead of the pace of the other teams, only reason they didn't win was due to having alot of punctures.

They were constantly slower than non-APRC top runner like Mark Higgins or Patrik Sandell in fact.

Yes but I commented stage times not affected but those punctures. You can't see that from final results

Not a great sign that they are one of the few S2000 cars that are still being consistently beaten by Group N cars. However on some rounds they have shown potential with some stage times quicker than anything else. But certainly the consistency isn't there.
