Rallye du Valais 2014

Clutch problem for Abbring it seems..

Breen complaining about some issue on his car now, alltough he is faster as Lappi by 6 sec.

You can not always give the car the blame! A driver can kill brakes and clutch when overdriven also. Rally driving is also getting to the finish within the capabilities of the car you have.

Yes, but as far as I know Kevin Abbring isn't famous for killing cars :)

In the case of 208... Well....

How can you even kill the clutch in R5 with overdriving? Especially as R5 doesn't need any "clutch kick" out from hairpins like S2000s do sometimes...

If I saw one photo right in morning service, Wiegand has one spare tyre, Lappi has 2 tyres onboard.

And after SS5 Lappi takes lead! ---but let's wait still Kajto's time.

And Abbring came out of service.. U can't overdrive it on road section..

Second best time for Kajto, third overall, but not too far away from the Skoda's

And another second best time for Kajto, he is now second overall at about 10 sec from rallyleader Lappi

But the Skoda has proven superior on asphalt mostly this season..

Breen deserves credit with 4 stage wins here.
