Did he even hit sth in that turn? He seems to be on the line.

Reminds me some of Ford offs earlier this year. There is a stone in the corner in which he hit hard as his tyre was in the ditch.

World Rally Championship - News - Revealed: Citroen's Finnish secret weapon

OK, now it is clearer, basically Citroen has made what Reiger started and all others copied since, turned the damper upside down. The primary benefit from this is less friction, due to separate tubes, one tube for the piston, and one for guidance of the strut. The other benefit is improved durability(but this has never been an issue for Citroen before..)
So actually the Greeks here were right, Citroen just now are using same technics as Ford has for years. Just shows how good everything else is on that car!

"There is no smoke without fire".

Hirvonen - engineer, that's new on me. Looks like he can tell one secret or another...

Jössös, the description in the link is so lame. The airheads writing the crap at WRC.com are too lazy or ignorant to ask anything, take any photos, or understand how on current ''inverted'' there are already ''2 tubes" ---the upper tube guides the piston, and the lower tube guides the upper..---how odd cause this morning I have to order material for another 40 lower tubes, 3.04m...
(sigh)

True, and if I remember right Petter set that time using Pirelli's. There are a lot of variables over the years. Its a shame it couldnt have used the same length stage as Petter. That way it could be an outright test of speed.

You never know, one there maybe a competition with cars just built for Ouhninpohja, like pikes peak :p :
Or maybe not :s mokin:
