Yes, we did. And this rally confirms my theory, that Italy doesn't have any big young talents at the moment. They lost on their home ground again.Quote:

any word what exactly happened with Breen?
Hey, but lost again WRC star, somebodoy who was x-times vice world champion. It would be disgraceful if they would be beaten on home ground by drivers like Kopecky, Neubauer, Bonato, Lopez...this is huge diference.Quote:

Guys Neuville was on a i20 R5 against Polo's and Fabia's. As much as br21 (all the respect) and other guys are telling me about the competiveness of the i20 this rally to me confirms that the current i20 R5 is not close to the Skoda's and VW's.
For example Gryazin was so off the pace with the Hyundai and really on it with the Polo. Hyundai by any means is not a bad car but I'll presume more difficult to set up and drive.

Italian and other smooth tarmac champions (Spain, Portugal) is actually one of the few where the i20 R5 has almost always been somewhat competetive.
That said I agree it's probably a bit worse than some other cars, especially when it's slippery.
It is not only about car, but also about team. And of course about setup.Quote:

So basically only Huttunen has been able to use i20 potential?Quote:

Yes, of course. I agree. I don't blame them. Neuville is one of the best drivers in the world.Quote:

I20 have been pretty successful in Spain.Quote:

But for me at least the amount of Fabia's and Polo's in the itinerary is insane. And that's for a reason as I'm pretty sure these are the cars the teams and drivers trust the most.
Also M-Sport's Fiesta's have fallen quite behind on popularity and speed.
Btw that itinerary and the competition was great. Also it was really good that Thierry got a really good resistance from the local guys. I wish we had more Italians in the WRC2/WRC3

sorry cant find any other word to describe your opinion after this rally,when it was clear that Italians have a big competition championship.Quote:

Three of the fastest Italians of last years,were not at fight for various reasons.
After that we had Albertini(slower from above 3) with some 7seconds difference before he eased at last loop as he couldnt catch Neville and didnt want to risk the first position at CIR.
I agree that I20 or Fiesta aren't on the same level as Fabia or Polo overall but I think that the difference in speed in one event is really small and it is possible to make I20 or Fiesta competitive. IMHO it plays bigger role in international championships where cars like Fabia or Polo are more universal and simply work everywhere and especially Fabia is also more reliable than its competitors.Quote:

Do the Italian Rally4 run with or without restrictor? I mean... they were clerarly faster than Rally3 of Kristenson on the shakedown and I'd like to know if that is both in FIA configuration.
True.Quote:
