Lukaynuk has gone out too
If this is correct, then Ogier is the new record holderQuote:

And now it's official, 1.6 is faster than 2.:DQuote:

Faster than 2.0 of 2004. ;)Quote:

I would not be sure about that at all. It's difficult equation with many factors.Quote:

I don't agree even with that. New cars have no center differential and I would not bet on the cornering speed comparison. Sure the smaller bodyshells are easier to turn from left to right but for the cornering speed itself there is hardly any reason to by higher (besides natural unstopable tyre and suspension development). Also the massive torque of 2.0 cars plays much bigger role on twisty roads than on fast flowing ones. Without proper testing against each other we can only guess...Quote:

Gutted for Meeke, he had done a great job on his comeback. :(
Ok, I completely forgot the center diff. Of course the torque plays significant role, but assuming the handling of the car is the same. It is difficult to say for sure without proper testsQuote:

Tremendous drive by Neuville on the PS :)
Congrats to Ogier, this was quite an achievment
His second part was greatQuote:

Very nice coverage from the PS. The German commentator also knows what he is talking about. This should be the way forward. :up:
Spot on especially with the bold. Lets dont forget that in the switch from the 2.0L to 1.6L we also changed tyres from control Pirellis to Michelin with open competition. There is no doubt that the tyres are faster now and I believe that was already from the first year (2011).Quote:

2nd WRC season for Neuville, and he is 2nd in the drivers standings (together with Latvala). How many drivers did that before? :)
Matton wants him back. :D "MY4500: Well done @thierryneuville & @nicolasgilsoul great job."Quote:

We discussed privately with Tommeke this topic some hour a go - it must be painful for Matton to watch Ogier and Neuville beating Citroën when both were grown by Citroën...Quote:

Also well done to Robert Kubica. Finally he kept it on the road. Tremendous debut in Finland!
It's a bitter pill to swallow for Matton. Also for Hirvonen, even at his home rally he can't be the best..
