What is it with Elvis, he is so far off the R2 lead, or is the Fabia overtaken by development from the other brands?

No, I think this was caused by the serious over-heating in the tyre and this is not the 1st time I see this kind of tyres...Quote:

And in that photo there is a tyre from the 2011 (itīs BF) and back the they lasted even shorter period of gravel.
Tarmac vs. Gravel. I think that they got bad set-up and it makes lack of confidence. After that you loose a lot in the roads like that...Quote:

you might be right, but full ERC programme without spare gearbox sounds even more strange to me.Quote:

As I heard, he was not allowed to change gearbox (after shakedown). Munaretto car because Van Dalen has sold too many of his cars and there wasnt any availablefor him for Latvia.
The event wasn't in his season plans, so Kronos had no car available and he had to switch to his "old team from last year" for this one event. He went there without testing and knowledge of the roads, so they found out about the types of roads on shakedown for the first timeQuote:

thx pucky, sounds more authentic to me....but still not extra professional.Quote:

Well, that's exactly what happens when you mindlessly increase the number of rounds to 13.Quote:

This event is more or less a test for Sweden. I would expect much more in Sweden from Jari, provided that the tires work there.Quote:

Sounds like he's trying to me ...
But if they are spending as much time on the limiter as they say the r4s will have a big top speed advantageQuote:
