Anyhow, I donīt think the difference is that big you could talk about Ford and Citroens current state...
I don't remember the context in which we discussed that. Anyway I think it's not good to simplify the issues to the simple sentence "car A is faster than car B". In my opinion it is much more complex in reality. It's the combination of a car and a crew and mainly their confidence in the car. I don't believe that any of recent WRC cars is so much better than others (with the exception of Mini). I think that we saw that some drivers are fast in all cars, some are slower in all cars. Usually the fans of those slower blame the car of their hero to slow him down and blame the car of the faster driver to give them advantage :)Quote:

Anyhow like Mirek says it is not that simple. For example I don't believe Mikko is as bad as he has shown this year and I don't think that Neuville's great speed this year proves the Ford is faster than the Citroen either.

This is very true , at times Neuville was on a par with the Polo's and the Citroen just couldnt become a bad car over night , but did i read somewhere that when Neuville was driving the Citroen he found it nervous ?
At least it would give continuity to the testing & development of the car. Continuing developing of the current model and a new model coming in 2015, I think theres a lot of testing although Hyundai could most certainly use most of the parts in the new model.Quote:

Naturally Thierry would also do testing and development.
A new model Hyundai in 2015... what is this likely to be ?
Seems strange to do all the work on the i20 then start again...
Second generation of i20 is due at the end of 2014.Quote:
