How suprised your reaction.. I don't think there will be a moment you will ask yourself your contribution here on the forum, but in general it has nothing to do with rally, it's that you came here on some day but you can put your comments in every forum on the planet. From you very first post till now it's really zero, no content/volume of all. You're always was critical on i think every driver that was come (and go) in the WRC.
But please continu, most of the time i'm laughing on your (and your simaler friends) predictable negative comments...

N.O.T made some great and helpful posts before Acropolis Rally once (I think 2012) where he did recce on many (if not all) stages. This kind of information is great for spectators (pitty I haven't been attending the event) and is very rare on this forum. So yes, he contributed a lot on this forum and sure is someone who knows something about rallying. N.O.T often comes back with very sharp comments. Sometimes a little over the top maybe, and people with lack of English skills, lack of humor or mental retardation may feel offended by it and stop visiting this forum. But is it a bad thing? Maybe, maybe N.O.T is helping us by preventing the forum to be populated by oversensitive idiots who post everything that comes up to their mind...

It s a good way for kubica to buy his own car and run you're own team. Then you know were you money is going.

I have experience of more then 30 years in racing. I know how the game works. Some drivers can bring big sponsor budgets and you're (sponsor) money will not be completely spend on you're car, but will be used for other drivers and cars they choose. I have seen it all happen.

Best way is own car own team and know were you're sponsor money goes. Or take a factory drive and only take a helmet with you.

The question pops up again but we discussed the whole Kubica and A-Style - thing already last month, even the issue why not M-Sport and why A-Style instead...
In all negotiations the deal would have been 2 WRC's to run owned by Kubica, probably one test car one event car. indeed this happens many times in Motorsport. Most important thing in my opinion is also: tires and a very good engineer. Hopefully this this is all covered.
But still, it's the A-Style team, they also run the Olivier Burri and Marco Silva Fiesta (R5).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZruGl0UtHXE

That spin is very telling of Kubicas driving style.
He seems to have some difficulty in knowing wich sections, turns or parts of turns to slow down/sacrifice to stay fast AND safe.
Here he carries to much speed in and trough the left hand corner, and this is where the mistake is done.
Because of the speed he goes wide in the left hand corner, and now the entry angle in the right corner will be sharper than if he had managed to "keep in".
Making a corner angle sharper, and having excess of speed, will be risky bussiness. ;)
Kubica is a wonderfull driver, but in my opinion has a circuit approach that needs to be adjusted to varring levels of grip.

Very true. Kubica carries lot of speed through the corner (as a circuit driver) and exiting the corner, which is actually spectacular, but for how long? No offence to Kubica's fans of course;) This was his major mistake last year. if he continues like this this year, I can only sorry about it.

About Robert Kubica (of whom I'm big fan) : in the critical moments (when the car goes suddenly sideways, he has to make blistering corrections with steering wheel and change gear) he has just left hand. He uses his right hand just to push the handbrake, nothing else...that way his driving style look many times so "unbalance". And with this F1 late braking things can be just worse for him.
But I will never lose hopes for him....

We (grown people) fully understand that. Still there are options which can eliminate this disability. Still he can't try to match Ogier because of this or another, but with some changes he could fight for top 5, and even podium on some Rallies I think.

20th January 2015, 00:40
Kubica drives with both hands. The right one is just not that strong as the left one. Usually he is fine, sometimes heavy rutted roads my cause some problems, but it's not that he drives with one hand. And he is a quick learner, so don't worry about him, this season will be better ;)

I think it's possible and only depends if he has some agreement with Michelin. If he doesn't have any contract he can buy Pirelli tires if they are available and used them.

Hehe, your swedish is almost perfect... And you stayed in sweden for how long?

I always say around 7 -8 years all together, but there was increasing time in France efter 1977..

Its a long time ago.. my accent is still ''Söder snack'' men its drifting to something like Finlandsvensk as I get older and talk slower---that's why I love the Tommi Mäkinen quote...I begin to sound kind of like that in Swedish.

Still do some business in Sweden....Historic cars and I should be selling millions of my nice connecting rod and smidda piston sets to Volvo rally guys...they were design to be ideal for non-turbo motors--longer connecting rod by 15mm and shorter piston by 15mm = very light, modern piston and 450g lighter in every cylinder...and that's reciprocating weight, the worst kind..rapp response.
(kan fixa samma idé för Opel CIH and Ford SOHC)

That is correct, Freddy is often helping Jourdan, i think because he has excellent relationship with Jourdan and ofcourse also with Fred Miclotte. I guess it also allows him to compare the Citroen with new Fabia R5:)

Ok, it's just testing, and just a corner, it does not show anything, but this year Latvala seems to be really gone crazy. In Monte he was euphoric for an anonymous second place, in Sweden made a stupid mistake (even for him), and then was again euphoric for a change to the rear he never thought about during hundreds of kms of testing with the new Polo...
This corner is worth Protasov or Bertelli, lol. Hope he will come back to earth.

have any changes been made to the front suspension set up to match those new wheel arches? or just cosmetic?

what is supposed to be for a match? Isn't just aerodynamics?

imho this design for front wings allows more suspension travel.
Citroen have announce that they will introduce both aerodynamic and suspension upgrades.

I don’t know but if the arches are open at the rear it will help break and engine cooling.

Not sure if it is that but there really seems something "off" about how the car behaves. I really hope this is not going to be another Mini - reasonably fast in certain conditions but woeful in others...

Great to see Lara Vanneste back in a rally car with Freddy testing and with Robert Consani, because there were rumours she would quit the rally sport and that would be a disgraceful waste of talent.
I'm not happy with the position Freddy Loix has at Skoda, he has no drive in the official R5 ... Yes he is not a young investment for the future and yes there will not be a works Skoda in ERC. With a lot of private money from his direct sponsors such as Johan Gitsels, he can do a R5 programm for partly BRC and ERC... Get a bad taste in my mouth for such a valuable driver who has greatly contributed into the development of this car.

Its always difficult to know how big the real performance step is, compared to the drivers perceived performance step, But it sounded very positive.

Loix is still winning 2015 events in Belgium in the old Fabia S2000, he will probably win the championship again with one...
