What will happen next year, when RedBull want events running from Friday to Sunday lunch time? I hope the ACM will tell them were to go. I'd like to see the event run from Weds - Sat night, with an extra day in the Ardeche/ Drome. Make it even tougher.... ;)
Despite the last 2 night runnings of Turini being cancelled - it has to run in the night. Sunday morning/ afternoon is no good.
i prefer to have more manufacturers in and more exposure than all that tough crap from the yesteryear...Quote:

Also in IRC when they could cut tyres they did it very extensively - removed all rubber from central part (making huge groove) and also every second rubber block of side rows.Quote:

Could have changed now but for me the "troubles" to get there definitely worthed it.Quote:

Sorry, to answer such old posts but I was gone for a while...Quote:

May be it's just my wrong impression, but these cars just look too heavy and clumsy for climbing up the hill on slush with FWD. And we saw it became a problem this year, but may be it's just the driver and I could be wrong...Quote:
