I think the engines are a little low-powered because as a private cars they have to last more than possible. And yes some are using active, some passive cars, I think PH Sport Xsara (Galli) is one of the first, built on 2002.

IMO the situation is obvious: You don't have a big structure working on the car and trying to find the perfect set-up for each km of rallying. Maybe a lot of data from 2006 season is not on Kronos hands, so the cars are not so perfect as they were. Plus, Stohl, Galli and Carlsson are not Sebastien Loeb wich had the car made to suit absolutely his style.
IMO Sainz and Mcrae had lost some confidence by driving this car after Ford.
I start seing the Loeb / Xsara as Makkinen / Lancer Evo... Makinen was the only one that was able to drive that car perfectly, and we see that Loeb is the same with the Xsara, plus Sordo on tarmac.Three gears are enough!

Xsaras have never been dificult to drive Any driver getting on it have soon got to the speed the driver have.
I gues structue and technical capabilities is the clue here, adding that some last updated part could probably not have been given to kronos.
Stohl has complaint of sttin up problems (mostly differentials and brakes).Zeque

What are you talking about? There is nothing wrong with the private Xsaras like there was not last year. The drivers in them are just absolutely c**p.
