I would love to see both Sordo in Fiesta (he could bring Ford back to game on tarmac) and such nice livery instead of fugly Abu Dhabi one (which is just a mess).
It's just an impression NOT, it looks ok. Better than the actual BP/Castrol/Abu Dhabi livery, which reminds me of vomit.Quote:

Yes, that is what I was replying to, Sordo in a Ford Fiesta, and I hear that it is not a done deal.Quote:

Oh come on. Lets be honest, compared to the test videos of the DS3, the Fiesta looks slower.Quote:

I'm good at this, I can still remember when people were uncertain and doubting about Mikko winning in Monte Carlo this year. I was so sure about it and quite honestly didn't see any other scenario happening, he's still one of the best in the world compared to some of the IRC regulars. And what happened... :) Post #13: http://www.motorsportforums.com/foru...d.php?t=136045
Mikko won, 2nd lost nearly two minutes, 3rd over three minutes and 5th was almost nine minutes behind. I can still remember the grin on my face after the rally. :cool:
You forgot one thing - Ogier was helluva faster than MH on that rally. Only one silly mistake prevented him being on top before his retirement. Ofcourse there are lot's of IF's, but Ogier was the man of the rally back then, not Mikko :)Quote:

Kimi in a Fiesta beside Ken Block... winning his first round of WRC.... :cool:
Even this years livery would look good on the Fiesta, because the lines of the Fiesta make it better for the eyes to watch itQuote:

Homologuation will happen early in January so by then, hopefully for them, they might be on par with the chevron boys power wise.
it would be wisest, I think, to just ignore the troll(s)- everyone else agrees that you can't make any useful judgement based on those videosQuote:

Definitely turbo engine, you should consider changing your pc sound system ;)Quote:

High probability it's Wilson jr. he seems to be main development driver for Ford these days. At least it is cheaper to use him than pay plane ticket for Latvala to fly over there. :DQuote:

Boohoohoo I don't agree with what others are saying :( They must be trolls. BoohoohooQuote:

Not even that. if they're not testing it at 110% then they've already lost.Quote:

OK, I know you tried to be funny, but when I have a choice to believe a guy who has been in rallying for all of his life or a forum hummingbird (some say troll) .... tough one :DQuote:
