Last year, Latvala was not so much faster with a factory fiesta than the private 307 of sarrazin....

By using my super new equation I can say that Kubica is just a fraction slower than Ostberg on tarmac in France. However variables in the equation are secret;-)

It seems that Kubica is fast and with many tests and rallies, can compete and fight for the win in WRC Tarmac rounds! I bet he will be an official Citroen junior team driver and team mate of Loeb in the wtcc project. His abilities will help to built a winning car and get a lot of attention from fans and media. A dream team.... loeb-kubica

Should I guess? Difference from the r2 r3 and s2000 drivers that compete in both rallies...

Yep.. something like that.. I also had to take into account the fact that some cars in WRC may use non-control tires and some of them have to use those. At the end of day.. to be with similar speed copared to Mads in a second rally with his new car.. impressive indeed.

But is DS3 Or C4 faster in Tarmac? I believe that current cars are faster, especially on a very twisty rally than this

I would say that the latest C4 is just a fractionally faster than DS3 on tarmac right now (by comparing the same stages from different years)

I'm impressed, even considering worse car of Loix (but he has better knowledge of it).
That's a pity Couq and Sarazzin are not there.

i am also impressed from Kubicas speed,dont get me wrong,just we have to think also about the difference of cars.Another point we dont know is if Loix 307 is well setuped.From his diference from s2000 cars i wouldn t say so..
