We have two R4s in Monte this year. a Fiat 500x and a Dacia Sandero.
They went very different in the SD, but could be reasons for that.
Lets hope they both see the checkered flag so they can collect good data for the teams and Oreca.
Not sure of the driver quality, since I know none of them. Anyone that knows more here?
I think the Fiat have come futher in their development curve, but lets see.

@sulland Raphael Astier if I'm not mistaken used to drive for Peugeot and it is a fast driver.

I don't think Raphael Astier has been a Peugeot driver.
Also, don't confuse him with Loic Astier. Loic is faster (won the french junior championship).
But for sure, Raphael is fast as well! He has some previous WRC experience:

To get a good measure on speed difference btw R5 and R4 in practice we need a rally or two, where good international drivers take care of a couple of R4s.
If I was working in Oreca, I would have tried to get a few tests like that to happen.
There are a few drivers available these days that might enjoy driving a R4 in WRC or ERC.
But the Fiat is doing ok in Monte, so far.

Congratulation to the Milano Fiat Team and Astier/Vauclare for a very good FIA debut.
Also to Dionisio for bringing the Dacia Sandero to the finish line.
