So, Chardonnet is 2 minutes off the lead in WRC2 after the first leg. I know it doesn't really matter, but Peugeot's debut on an international event made a bigger impact.

Chardonnet and Kruuda aren't the same level of experience at all ;)
If Karl drove the Citroën, it would be among the lead...
I actually meant the Acropolis as the 208's international debut. It was right on the pace and won it's first international event. I know Chardonnet maybe isn't on the same level as Abbring and Breen but Peugeot's debut had a bit more attention and excitement (which automatically leads to the ERC vs. WRC2 discussion).
That's how it goes. Very few people are interested in sub-categories. Even if Acropolis was not WRC it's MUUUCH more to win it overall than to win ANY WRC2 event.
I don't know exactly where I can talk about it, but a 208 Proto built in Poland will go in Madagascar. After Spain, a new country for these Proto.
What is the 208 Proto?
208 Proto is based on the 208 chassis with Mitsubishi Evo X drivetrain, there are also Polo proto and i20 proto all based on the same concept and built by Dytko Sport in Poland.
