yeah, they could do the same with Block but feedback from block wouldn't be so valuable as information from PST.

[Barreis]

Why didn't they pay him to drive or gave him focus WRC?!

The Cheats Citroën...

When Citroën cheat, I call the Cheatroën.
I will still support Solberg though.

[Mirek]

Cheat is something which is forbidden. This is not forbidden so it can't be a cheat.

Engine tune up for mexico???
come on, how many years have Ford raced in Mexico, engine development is frozen; what new thing could have they discover with 1 day testing???

For the Fiesta S2000, yeah, that could be a very positive test, but for the Focus 09, which is very close to the 08, ...............hummm

]Cheat is something which is forbidden. This is not forbidden so it can't be a cheat.

Such an interpretation would result in the circumvention - evasion of legislation.

[Mirek]

But that is what You HAVE to do if You want to be successful. You have to find any solution which is not forbidden by the rules and in the same time is better than the one of Your opponent. If You fail in this task, You loose the game. Everyone involved in top-level of sport works that way, Ford also. It's not a righteous fight.

[Bobcat]

I beg to differ from you, "test out of Europe (no data take for the factory team), which is not something the factory teams can do," and no quibble, please.

[Mirek]

It's not a quibble. In Your post You add a bracket which is not part of WRC regulations. Anyway that would be impossible to apply.
