Basso's Fiesta have or not more weight because the CNG?
Definitely it must have more weight and worse balance due to the pressure tank. On the other hand none of us know which restrictor size he has. Sure bigger than petrol one. It's only a question how much bigger.
Mirek even if we know the restrictor size ie 35mm this cant tell us how powerfull it is to campare with normal r5 cars.We dont know if gas has the same output like petrol at these direct injection engines.Quote:

I think this is not bad result for T16. At least it appears as strong car, as I remember right the Fiesta at the beginning suffered lot of mechanical problems.
Any news why FIA denied homologation? Water pump again?
nice videos from first italian stage @Ciocco with various cars..basso r5 cng vs 208 t16 vs skoda s2000 vs 207s2000
very stable fiesta, basso a bit complaining about weight balance but they will fix it during the season

Well, the 208 looks nice and sounds nice but the difference in performance vs. Basso's Fiesta is quite visible. Surprised Peugeot seemed to have dropped the ball on this one, especially as they had an extra three months than planned..Quote:
