Indeed, Lambros, this will be his livery. Bucharest Tourism agency will be his sponsor. :)

It seems that’s there’s no problem for the top drivers to adapt to a car without an active centre differential and no shift pads.

Those look like they will be the dominant conditions on this years Monte too so very good practise. Wet but not too icy.

I believe more in a Petter-Hanninen fight but maybe Henning can surprise us. It will all depend on conditions but if they are dry then many more can join the fight too.

I'm not as sure as you about Mikkelsen; he is a great driver but this will be his first Monte...

Mikkelsen will not go for a victory in Monte, he will secure important points.

Anyone know how up-to-date Friulmotor's 207 is? I hope Basso can fight on a level playing field with the other Peugeot drivers.

In Italy they are very respected , with lots of clients . Friulmotor is in cooperation with Racing Lions ( Peugeot Italy ) , most recently driven by Travaglia in the 2010 CIR with good results . I think it's the best option for Basso .

Thanks. Any word on a possible extended IRC programme for Basso beyond Monte?

I see the 207 of Friul has the new doors with new windows already and that indicates for me that car will not so much slower than the factory 207's and that's what I want ! :)

That unfortunately has nothing to do with performance. It's because in 2011 all S2000 must have these safety features according to FIA rules.

Well, Civic Type-R R3 has one of the best sounds imo. When Plangi or Kangur etc. drives it in Estonian Championship then you can hear the sound already one minute before the car arrives :-)
