I'm eager to listen to what Dudu is saying about the car's behavior on tarmac compared to the Xsara...

Ford has developed a new launch system for this year, you can see some of the new features of it on this video.

Duval amazing drive ! If he stays on road Loeb has something to worry I think.

Flamboyant style as ever - I will be amazed if he can stay on road for the whole event driving like that.

Hmmm the cars slide a lot with these new tyres....Andreucci also had some nice slides while testing the 307 on the pirellis....maybe the drivers drive that hard to find the limit of the grip with the new tyres.

Did you guys notice the poles inside some turns? I guess that's part of the "less cutting" preparation.

Definitely not. These poles are there for ploughers to know, where to road is when it's covered with thick mass of snow :)

Henning Solberg has not tested his new car at all, will probably drive in it for the first time on shakedown.

Yeah, he and Matty will only get shakedown, think Malc was wanting all resources, re. testing for MC, going into the nominated drivers.

The sound is better,but now Subaru has definately lost its distinctive sound.The sound is nice but now it sounds like an C4 or Focus.
Looks promising though.

No other WRC sounds that bad like Focus ;)
