any news about turkish wrc2 driver murat bostanci? no shakedown time?
Paddon time stronger than Sordo's, a bit confusing after such a great line of gravel rallys by Dani
Paddon did a lot of rallying back in NZ lately I believe.
The confusion is only in your mind.Quote:

Simple answer to that - the team thinks a Spanish driver is better marketing value in Spanish-speaking countries. Pretty sure thats all there was to it with those rallies.Quote:

Also, if you want to split the season in half you need to give gravel rallies for Sordo, and I think Mexico, Argentina and Portugal are the best for him.
For a reasonQuote:

Shakedown finished, but the time doesn’t reflect how happy we are with the car. The setup wasn’t right in the morning, but we found the sweet spot on the final run except the road had deteriorated.

Just stating the fact. What should he do lie, or drive flat out on the loose and crash ?
Stewards are still thinking this few hours before the start according the start lists..Quote:

Fixing roads that are really bad is one thing, but putting down tonnes of sand so all are smooth is over the top.Quote:
