According to AS-magazine, Sordo engine has to be chaged after Monte retirement. Therefore Sordo has 5 minute time penalty before the start.

Not a happy year -08 :mark: However, Sordo hardly was a winning favourite in Sweden but now the road is desperately rocky for a good position. And Ford celebrates.
Thats too bad. Sordo has some bad luck.
Realy shame for Dani :(
Nore reason to nominate Aava for Sweden :) .
Why didn't they retire him from Monte, then he woulden't have got the penalty, right?
Correct, if you retire you can do engine change...Quote:

For some reason Sordo seems to get all of the mechanical problems for Citroen.
The engine was crashed all ready. Can they change a new engine for Sweden if it was broken allready without penalty?
Like gardemeiste/Suzuki did. Not yet broken, but quit him, for better result in Sweden
Don't forget: Sordo helps Citroen in Monte at 1 point. He do that not in Sweden.
Did Loeb get a super C4 and Sordo the normal C4, because Loeb somehow almost never has problems with his car.
