It wasn`t wet in the qualifying or was it? I actually can`t remember so don`t be offended.
Also I have heard from several different places that when driving back to back testing the difference especially with the gravel tires is miniscule. And this includes factory drivers from Ford,Mini and Skoda!
Even in Finland one guy with and not as good Evo9 as the competition set some very impressive times this summer on DMacks beating Juha Salo, and the over God E-P LAppi.. on some stages.
As I see it the biggest difference compared to Michelin has been the car and the drivers..
Note that also I believe that Michelin is the best!

The difference is miniscule... For the first 15km's. Same story for Hankook tyres (Gardemeister and Mikkelsen drove with them in the IRC) a few years ago.
Michelin and Pirelli have always been the best in rallying for the last 30(?) years. How do you expect that a new-comer-tyre costing half as much will perform almost as well?

Great news about Juho! At last WRC is starting to look interesting again.
I really hope though that he gets a "proper" car and not a second hand parts bin special... Malcolm could leave the second Qatar team seat open rally-by-rally to choose the best option could he not?
I think Juho could be better over a season than Novikov. He will be one to watch on Monte for sure, provided he gets enough practice in the car.
