Petter knows nothing compared to N.O.T. :D

we can surely believe a guy who just says things for his sponsors to stay loyal....so from the 1 million euros gearbox to a faster car than the C4...Greeks are known to be yes men to everything, its within their mentality but i expect more from people from developed countries...maybe i ask too much.

short video of petter testing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ougSc...layer_embedded

the sound is amazing, especially when he hits the rev´limiter.

@ΝΟΤ
it is just a link from what Petter said about his first drive with ds3 wrc.You haven t got to say yes or NOT.
@cali
that Petter said that is already faster is a bit difficult at this moment.Don t believe everything you read.He has to be ''good'' at citroen racing with a whole year of co-operation with them.

so is any ss in Sweden this year exactly same with previous years to compare?

I think we have three Manufacturers in Sweden rally :

1-CITROEN TOTAL WRT
2-FORD ABU DHABI WORLD RALLY TEAM
3-M-SPORT STOBART FORD WRT

Am I right ?

and
Ice One
PSWRT
Monster
Stobart
and Ferm Power Tools

Yes, Vargåsen, first stage on friday morning is exactly the same since 2007.

Times 2010: 1st run - Mikko Hirvonen 13.18,4
2nd run - Jari-Matti Latvala 13.06,4

Times 2008: 1st run - Sebastien Loeb 13.49
2nd run - Mikko Hirvonen 13.32

Time 2007 1st run - Sebastien Loeb - 13.57
2nd run - Marcus Grönholm - 13.17,9

Difficult to compare from year to year, since surface, snow banks etc are not the same, but we will get an indication friday morning at least

like someone wrote here before that on certain conditions during testing new machinery is even a bit faster than the old 2.0L cars. Ofcourse this could be false as well but certainly those new cars are close enough to oled WRCars.

Some of the stages are the same, but road conditions and weather may affect times a lot, still we can have some clue after Sweden.

If I have to choose between you or Petter, then with all due respect ..... it's very easy decision :D
