He is a very talented driver for sure. At least he was.Quote:

He crashed with the Proton on testing few weeks ago. I think he will be slower that PG.
Don't forget that none of the fast locals on Barum had R4. Orsák who was closest (except the change of tyre on one stage) also had only N4 spec. Evo IX. In CZ most of the Evo/Impreza drivers prefer using N4 cars and to fight for class victory instead of being behind quite numerous S2000 cars in class 2.
Also dont forget Nikara even with r4 was in a totally other rally vs Aigners sti r4
I did not count that in mind :)Quote:

Lowest entry fee in the championship.
They should better give Nikara a drive, that guy is crazy with probably every car he gets :pQuote:

And don´t forget Aigner captured his PWRC-title in a close fight with Hänninen!
But finally i agree, Aigner will not be able to fight with top-S2000 pilots in france, in the last years he simply has a lack of stage-kms + it´s the first rallye for him in an S2000!
With all respect to Andi in 2008 it was not a real fight with Juho who had technical problems in almost every rally. Despite that he won 51 stages compared to 11 of Andi.
I am really surprised to see ICETROPEZ as a sponsor. It's an alcoholic beverage brand and I thought that form of publicity was prohibited in France by the Evin law......? :confused:Quote:
