    Sorry guys, I just came back home, packing stuff and rushing to Austrian Alps for skiing. You can ask PLuto or Walach for details of the article

    Nechybělo mnoho a český automobilový závodník Martin Prokop se svým týmem Jipocar měl pod křídly Francouze Sébastiena Ogiera. „Vše bylo dojednané. Zhatil to jediný člověk, na nějž není spoleh,"

    Something like this:

    Little was missing and czech racing driver Prokop with his Jipocar team had Ogier under his wings.

    Brake support under pedal. Could it be servo assistant braking like on streetcars? I had such on my Ascona B together with twin cylinder brake (front/rear), constructed and built by myself. Worked much better than without which demands much more power from left foot.

    I dont know why Prokop is trying to stir it up again. It was clear at that time that to run 17' VW cars they had to get homo's - that is minimum cost 15 millions to commit for 2017. Prokop didnt had that much, he was hoping for RedBull etc to chip in - so was that other person from his interview. Neither came up with money to the deadline, so now all this story is history... And its no way 17' VW cas were handed to czech team - deal was that VW motorsport staff would be looking after the cars, Prokop should stop telling his wet dreams... sorry, nothing against him, but he talks rubbish. Everyone is entitle to have dreams, talk about them, but please dont try to rewrite history...

    Yes he had never the confidence of the best driver around, but I don't think it is self humiliation, more like "one of those things I have tried to improve myself". It didn't work. Why it's another question probably he should look deep in his mind and figure it out for himself. Nobody will give the answer on a plate.

    I have to disagree once more. I don't believe he feels this way. Yes, Ogier is the best driver around and we all know this, it isn't some kind of surprise. Copying his driving on the other hand is worse than keeping your own style, trying to improve it in the most weak parts, and of course the result last year showed exactly this.

    All in all its good some drivers realize there is a room for improvement, it depends which direction they'll take. Some approach may work for one, and be disaster for somebody else.

    Certainly in the case of Citroen - you have to wonder whether VW are slightly paying for all the dumb stuff Capito said.

    Like Nandan says it's kind of ironic how the tables have turned.

    It is clear that Citroen and Hyundai don't want more competition.
    Why? Because the are scared. Ford are playing neutral, but we all know they are scared too.
    Current Team point system guarantees collection of points on each event, as long as driver reaches the finish line.
    More WRC2017 cars = less chances to get points.
    Yes, they are under huge pressure to deliver, but this is behavior of a looser.
