[ERC] Circuit of Ireland 2014

No, but I think Peugeot Sport doesn't want to admit the original problem! :D

No restart for Abbring tomorrow...

Great crowds on SS10 show the popularity of rallying in this part of the world:

Rear window breaks due to spoiler mounts hitting it during landing after huge jumps.

Insufficient testing on both counts?

Dont think this was the cause of the radiator problem in Acropolis was it ?

Admitting that it's all the time same issue would damage both their PR and business with private cars. They can't afford it now...

Not sure about Abbring and Peugeot. Breen was planned as the guy who should be pushed to ERC championship, but Abbring is very very fast too and could take some important points from Breen. So Abbring has to retire each rallye and/because (?) Breen get´s all attention from Peugeot.

It´s a sitation which we´ve seen in Formula One many times before - and it looks a bit smelly in my opinion.

EDIT: Is Abbring a declared No 2 driver at Peugeot??
