    He allready won with Citroen and VW, I'm sure he would win with Ford's and Huyndai's as well.

    The same applies to Tänak and VW. Remember Mitsubishi gr.A cars and Mäkinen? Nobody else was able to win with that car...

    I meant more the Evo V and VI. Anyway what I wanted to say was that it's the combination of men and machine what wins the events not the car itself. You can never be sure that somebody who is fast with one would be as good or better with another one.

    And that´s it what is happening with Neuville and Hyundai in my opinion - they don´t seem to harmonize.

    Loix was always fast in corolla/celica but when he came to mitsu, results were missing (also Makinen was center of the world there)...

    The majority of the evolutions of the Lancer were developed almost entirely around Tommi's driving style. That's why everything fell apart for Mitsubishi once he left.

    In 2001 they went from group A to WRC and that was so bad that even Makinen couldn't bring results...

    What information is that based on?

    David Evans barely qualifies as a journalist. Each time I read one of his day dreams that he is pedaling as 'news' in either Autosport or Motorsport News I can't help but imagine him handing a single sheet of paper written in crayon to his editor, if her even has one. Both arms of Haymarket seem to give him free reign to publish whatever tripe he comes up with each week.
