offcourse the prices goes up, cars built for rally and racing is a bit different than state substituted fish trade, but soon there will be cheaper option for privateers to start international carrer, more choises keeps prices lower.Quote:

It's absolutely logical that while it's almost impossible to sell current WRC cars with no future in top level rallying their price goes down. Two years a go the prices were much higher. The situation is opposite with new cars where there is high demand from teams.
The brains are there, the car sure is on par technology wise. Ford's hot question?!
The car engineering looks top class. Ford's hot question?!
The PIPO engine is top class. Ford's hot question?!
The shocks, from REIGER, are awesome. Yes.
The tires are same for everyone. Yes.
The people running the show have experience at top level. Yes.
There is plenty of testing for the drivers. Certainly not, little!
And there is plenty of testing for the cars?. Certainly not, little!
The drivers show speed, but not consistently. Why is that ? The cars?! Ford's hot question?!
The qustion is - how is Ford gonna be competitive in 2011?
New car. New drivers, anyway partly or third driver?
What about Citroen development on C3?
Third car in teamrules is necessary. New car has to be as competitive as Fiesta S2000.
The new C3 has to be not that supreme than C4 in 2010.
Drivers - well for a swede PG is good enough. Maybe need some other driver to complete the team. Galli? Märtin? Petter?

Do you understand why we have dificulties understanding you sometimes?
Ford has given up 2010, and fucuses only on developing the 2011 car I think.

Obviously it is not in M-Sport best interest for prices of rally car to go way down. After all, they want to sell don't they ?Quote:

Today customers are forced to return parts to M-Sport for service because of the part's complexity. There are no alternatives. Therefore they have monopoly and prices are high.
The more high tech "electronics and hydraulics" the better.... :cool:
