    As someone who does a lot of work in social media/PR I think I might have thought twice about this...
    Thought that too when I saw it earlier. At least Breen and the others weren't as happy clappy as Mikkelsen.

    I can't think why that might be.....

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Like Tanak today. If he is told to win
    You have to accept risks.

    You know what's also interesting, if you look on the last non-tarmac rally where Meeke had sustained performance you get Sweden (up to and including SS11).
    Meeke was 5th, beating "2nd level" drivers including Sordo and Paddon (who was down after Monte). Sounds familiar doesn't it? Exactly same level of performance as we saw from whole Citroen team yesterday.

    Mexico stands more and more out as lucky result, all other cars had overheating issues with temporary fixes done by limiting power. And Meeke's driving didn't result in an off until last corner and he survived that one.

    That is quite sad from Citroen Racing.

    He's making legitimate arguments regarding Meeke's performances, is that really trolling?

    Torque speed was sett to more percent at the front than rear on Mikkelsen's car they said on the Citroën live now, not 50/50 like someone stated

    I seriously can't make sense of the Citroen. Sometimes it seems quick enough, other stages it is too slow and it seems to be consistent on re-runs of stages. It is like it has one fundamental flaw which is only showing up on certain stages or something.

    If citroen was smart, they'd stay behind and check where they had pace and where they didn't compared to the others and then go and very seriously check the roads on those stages. That would give them valuable data on what to improve.
