"The London show car previews the design intent for a final production vehicle, though as development work continues, some final details may change before volume production begins."

According to sources in Franch, Mikkelsen sat a new record on the test road wich makes him faster than Loeb..

Hummm… Andreas was really fast, but I think it’s impossible to know if he was quicker than Loeb because Loeb never use this track.
About the gravel stage, it’s rare that this stage is used by WRC and there are lot of configurations, so, strange to talk about a record…
That was on the tarmac road though, I'Il talk to him when i get the oppertunety so we can sort this out once and for all ;)Quote:

Last week Evgeny Novikov has tests with PH-Sport (Citroen C4 WRC) and M-Sport (Ford Focus WRC 2008). Also he`ll have tests with Adapta team (Subaru). For the next year Novikov`s team choose between P-WRC (full season) and M2 (6-8 rally`s).
PH-Sport boys tell me that: "The test was good. He learns quickly".
