Hyundai's Monte review. I like the team's performance and professional attitude, so far. It's not easy to show footage of both your broken cars on their debut event! No-one is expecting them to have a debut year like VW did, but I fully expect to see them on the podium, say, twice in 2014.
Who will drive 2nd car in Sweden? Hanninen I guess?
Yes, entry list is already out.Quote:

Of course the wide line is slower.[/quote]
Well, no matter what the issue is, his stage times are competitive.
If we agree that going wide is slower, then the only logical conclusion is that Kubica will get even quicker once he overcomes those mistakes. We'll see .............[/quote]
To me it looks like hes using the wet karting line, which makes sense on wet or greasy asphalt, you try to keep off the rubber thats been put down.
That indeed make sense but in my opinion only on circuits. Rally tyres are much harder than circuit ones, there is much less passes and they are spread over all road unlike on circuits where they all take same lines.Quote:

I usually agree with Mirek, but in this case, it has no correlation with his hand, his hand is quick enough, you can't drive in rally, let alone win them, if you're behind with your reactions/executions in extreme situations.
Rally tyres are harder of course, but are scrubbing more into corners depending on drivers, your probably right though.Quote:

I didn't want to argue about his driving and if his wide lines are better or not. I just wanted to add a possible reason for his wild style. I agree that he is braking very late as somebody pointed out. That is definitely true.Quote:
