I don't expect new manufacturers to come before 2011. It's too late now and still no rules exist...
Oh ye, the way to go offroad while fighting against H.Solberg. On tarmac.Quote:

Jens is right that there was uncomfortability in Chris side but I guess it was combination of high pressures (only rally to show his worth for the rest of the year) and hazard circumstannces combined with the new car. Ogier's modest drive hints that adapting of C4 was quite a challenge in those conditions.
As a whole I am not overly moved by Chris performance. It's obvious that he didin't yet show his peak-pace. Obviously he would close somewhere around to Sordo as there was not too much difference in saturday. But that was already obvious as Chris has driven stage wins with the crap car and beated P. Solberg in some asphalt rallies.
Last year with bad Subaru car on podium.. This year fifth behind H.Solberg..
All that for 185k €.. Not worth..
I suppose someone such as yourself will immediately get used to a new car, that handles completely different to your own in a matter of hours? Gimme a break mate... He's only barely tested the car before. Of course he's still faster in an impreza, cause he knows how (no matter how bad) that thing handles! You can't go flat out in a car you don't know. That's why he's had a few spins. He just doesn't know yet how to react when that car starts acting up. You learn by trial and error, which means driving the car.Quote:

Money well spent. The end.
you can add "and on tarmarc" after H.Solberg and it's even more pointlessQuote:
