Love that stage in RBR
There could be some massive air on that jump! I did some more asking around it seems Coffs is confirmed for 2013 with potential bidding between the two venues there after.Quote:

There were some similiar sections, but yes, only the jump and the following left turn were identical to the real stage. Just after the stage had been modelled into RBR, forest fires destroyed forests around the stage, it would be interesting to see how does it look nowdays. :)Quote:

I thought that pic is of Thierry testing the RRC ?

If I'm not mistaken for homologation of WRC car You must have physically ready 10 sets of all parts. Base for the WRC is the S2000 homologation. Therefore Citroën must have been able to make the S2000 whenever after it was homologated (1st January 2011). Otherwise it is only excuses.
I was told it is Nasser, but it can be wrong :)Quote:

There is nothing new which was not mentioned here.
Without the need of an engineer... That is good news I think!
Looking forward to the R5 category!

The Pommies sure use the word engineer in a broad manner...what happened to the word "mechanic"?Quote:

And man I don't know about the rest of you but I am fed up to HERE! with the utter, pointless ARTIFICIAL screwing around with restrictor sizes. 34 for this, then 33, but for a lesser spec CAR, presumably run by somebody with lesser BUDGET----we'll stick a even smaller straw to suck thru?
AssH@#* FIA and braindead ASNs ! It WILL already be slower and the chosen few WILL be faster, so don't need to strangle them more!
(The Canadian Federation has just at one go---with no complaints of the status quo, decided to slap a bunch of incredibly stupid ideas on the 2wd Open classes, among others in "Turbo 2wd class" suddenly from any engine size and no restrictor straight to max 2000cc and 32mm restrictor. Either corruption or unfathomable ignorance seem to be the only logical explanations--- no connection here except WTF with restricting already lower output, lower budget cars MORE?)

To the average viewer, different classes are just a couple of letters and numbers, and behind it all there is a difference of 1mm in turbo restrictors. Potential new viewers dont really need all this, and it gets dull really quickly.
Production, S2000 and WRC classes should be enough. But what about R2.... :p
I agree to this. Just look at Moto GP and the succes of it. Allways had three classes and more or less the same classes all over the globe. Rally is heading to same direction as junior formulas, many classes/championships an all of them suffering to find class drivers and creditability....Quote:

"Even though my engagement with Citroën in WRC is very important, I am forced to make choices and I have absolutely work on the development of the buggy that we are preparing for the Dakar 2013. Thierry has demonstrated its potential when we have entrusted, for the first time, the Citroën DS3 WRC of Qatar World Rally Team, "Nasser says proudly." He helped the team to score important points and has learn from New Zealand's participation. Quite naturally, we decided to use his talent to wear our colors in Sardinia. "
