Also there is many things that could be changed without mayor costs, like for instance 1 extra day recce for 1st time drivers.
Has anyone of the finnish guy's read Jouhkis column in the new VM, quite good i would say.

can you translate his column and post?

Control tyre can and may be stronger but will it be that is an entirely different question. Just as JWRC control tyre could be practically undestructible but clearly it is not, who says what quality the WRC control tyre will be. I fear that Pirelli will work from current tyres instead of developing something entirely new for next year.

Lack of mousse might force top drivers to take a bit cleaner line but 4WD cars will still make mighty ruts and pull out rocks, so mousse ban won't help backrunners that much.

news from the Donegal rally:

Loeb is second and complaining on bumps.

another interesting note is that there he's also trying tyres without mousse to understand what drivers will have to face the next year...
