Any pics Pirelli new WIDE snow tyre?

"Latvala rally Norway test in Sweden: The works M-Sport Ford driver completed 250 miles where he sampled the new snow tyre. The tyre is the same width as a gravel one, which utilises a 15-inch wheel rim."

Great! I really like that tyre. Now cars do not look that silly like they did with very narrow tire. And hopefully it reduces the speed in stages, adds some sideways action and tires maybe will be more puncture resistant.

Psycho!

After his test on snow with the new Impreza,Mas Ostberg said that he is very happy with the car.Apart from that,he compared the old and the new model and the latter had better angine and gearbox.Also,he made some changes to the center diff and used the Ohlin's suspension... :burnout:

From Saturday Citroen Junior Team has pre-Ireland tests in St die des Vosges.
Pre-Norway tests (5 days) will be on a week before the race, probably in Sweden.

Does this mean Atko is going to get a proper run in the C4 before Ireland?

Would be interesting to hear some comments from Atko regarding difference from Subaru, speed, handling, grip etc.

See side windows in the test. Are plastic (makrolon) windows allowed again?

Says it all that Atko is so surprised at how well the C4 handles.

You often hear someone new to the sport making comments like he's making about the C4. But not so often someone with a few years experience in WRC cars.

I think it's exaggerated by the fact that he's only ever really driven Subaru's as well.

Hmmm.... Atkinson`s test-car was in old 2007(!) specification. And after Chris`s words it seems to me that Subaru Impreza WRC`s were a veeeeeery bad cars... :)
