Effortless and deadpan. It sure looks fast, but does it look good?

Flies and lands nice.
Nice to see that the C3 is competitive on gravel.
But Lefebvre is already out with damaged suspension. Skoda is going to win again ;)Quote:

Looks like Bonato had to retire as well with a mechanical problem yesterday. Hopefully this won't be the norm for the C3...
I didn't think it had suffered many technical problems yet? Most retirements due to driver errors.Quote:

I just walked through Ypres service park and I noticed that there are likely Reiger dampers on the C3. It's for sure looking way better than DS3 on stages. It looks very stable.
Yes C3 has Reiger as damper supplier.Quote:

Car seemed really stable when coming out of the cuts. Better then Fabia even.
On the other hand Hyundai... well, it didn't look stable at all. Great job by Neuville to keep in on the road driving like that. It was very spectacular though.
But it showed reliability after some good results of Bouffier and now Ypres with Neuville. In the beginning there were quite some isseus :).

Also recently.. I think Loubet has had some kind of problem on every event he’s done this year.Quote:

Neuville drove Loubet's usual car by the way ;)Quote:

I'm quite sure of that 2 C3 R5 are heading to Norway, one for Mads Østberg for training and some rallies, one for Eyvind Brynhildsen for ERC. Eyvinds Fiesta R5 was for sale for a couple of weeks ago.

One also expected in Spain. Some weeks ago Auto Laca boss admitted the return to the CERA entering a C3 for a young driver (probably Lopez).
Yep, BRC car and service. It’s quite interesting to notice that BRC started some years ago in a limited way (only using their LPG systems) but they’ve steadily become a top team in rally and racing, with a strong connection to Hyundai. Well done!Quote:

J-Motorport should receive their C3 (for Demaerschalk) in August.Quote:

DS3 looks better, the front part of C3 is just too weird! ;)

Will be waiting to see how competitive that one is in international rallies!
Fair to say that Fontes lost the lead during last loop due to a wrong tyre choice.Quote:

Bonato had to retire due to mechanical problems before the first stage in Rouergue.
