Tyres, probably... but I think the Fiesta is probably at least as fast on gravel as the Fabia. Andreas has been around a few years already so I think you exaggerate a little about his lack of experience but he has been very impressive here in Scotland. First time he has been truly impressive in IRC this year IMO, although a lot of that may have been down to the tyres previously.

I agree, spring time would be good. Championship wouldn't be over then either.

Spring would also mean t's not so cold getting up in the morning! ;)

Neuville puncture on left rear but he's still trying hard...

Cronin stopped. Again :(

Will Mikkelsen give it a go today or will he settle for second place ?

Any bets ?
