this is also proved by mads , tanak s novikovs stage times this year

also fiesta m2 is alot closer to fiests works cars than citroen m2 cars to citroen works FACT ask evgeny / petter ie in finland and gb only 2 citroen works cars had dampers with the roll valve and reserviors on the body instead of old on a pipe from top of damper

but i forgot you guys are all m sport haters

I dont want to question what you say but i think warmbolds blog affected me(maybe not only me) and turned me a little bit suspicious about what cars are given to private drivers by msport

Yes, a lot of people are biased about everything that has something to do with M-Sport. I believe everything on Anthony Warmbold is blog is true, but remember that those stories from M-Sport are 7-10 years old... ;)

exactly !!!

also that is just one side of the story there are 2 sides to ever story and when your bitter about things the mind can twist things

not saying this happened

i wasnt at m sport at these times so cant comment but it is always funny when you here drivers saying about the engine not hitting the limiter on the straight when others do and when you normally look at the data you normally find that the exit speed at the corner before is a great deal lower than said works drivers

Yeah I'd say there's a lot of that with drivers that believe there own hype, Warmbold wouldn't drive a nail in to the bog with a saucepan let alone a wrc car!

Corner exit speed is the first lesson about being quick. There's indeed lots of drivers out there who forgot that part.

Solid results would help, and I believe and hope we'll see him more this year than just Monte, Sweden and (maybe) Finland. It took him, I don't know, months of hard work to get this deal together, so please be more patient than just for two days before asking for more.

The good thing is that I believe Monte and Sweden are two good events for Juho to showcase his talents, providing he can get up to speed with the car in time.

Who is paying for this do you know?

I don't know anything more than you know. New sponsors or new pr pictures has not been published as far as I know. We'll know eventually.

You are also right how Monte and Sweden are good rallies for him. I'm still bummed about Monte 2011 (and 2009), but Juho definitely likes the event. As for Sweden, it must come from the spine for him as he hasn't contested on snow since Sweden 2008, but then he was 8th overall in N4 Lancer. It shouldn't be a problem I believe - perhaps a warm-up at Arctic Rally would help... :-)
