    Suarez is damn fast, but he’s still on ‘overdrive’ mode. He really could use Lundefaret as a coach!

    Asked that on the project's facebook page, they said that "They have to be removed to comply with UK MSA Category 2 regulations."

    There's a new interview with János Tóth before Rally Košice, and he said some interesting things of the 208: http://www.duen.hu/hirek/celba_erni_az_elen_celba_erni
    -they struggled with the car as it reacts very differently to setup changes than the other cars ("nothing works on it the way like on a normal car"), but when Andreucci was called to a test, he started them on a good direction and now the car is good on tarmac;
    -this wasn't helped by the fact that few teams race this car, so Peugeot Sport can't give much good info;
    -they started using the long ratio, but he feels that you still have to drive the car more like a S2000 and not like a "Gr.A turbo car";
    -and finally a quote of the problems: "A car has certain capabilities, and so have engineers. And when a not so good engineer designs the rear suspension, the drivers are not happy... The car is very sensitive to the setup, it takes a long time to find a good one."

    Interesting to hear that from a driver.. you can see the car doesn't have the torque of the other R5s and that the rear end is very loose.

    For sure it has different engine characteristics than other R5, less torque, so you need to rev it higher. With that I agree. But in my opinion it reacts on setup changes more or less like every other rally or race car. Of course there is totally no setup feedback from Peugeot or Citroen, but that's quite normal, similar with M-Sport, etc. All their base setups are almost useless.

    Br21 can you explain me why the factory doesn't give to the customers the set up of the official drivers?of course it is not always useful since a customer may has different driving style and the conditions maybe are different(and maybe other tyres). i am sure that this data cannot be used from a rival company since theιr car will not responds the same way to setup changes.All the privateers complaining for not taking setup data from the factory teams apart from the basics which is basically zero.
