I thought you said you had arranged your biography Pentti? Or did he change his mind after hearing some of your stories? ;)
It's always easy to bag on engineers. When everything goes well, than it's a perfect driver and when the car doesn't go how it is supposed to go it's the engineer.
Don't forget that engineers actually build the car, if you count the time they work on a car, it is a lot longer than the drivers are in it. That the Xsara was called a tank is not because Loeb is a tankdriver, no, because citroen's engineer build a tank.
Both should listen to eachother, driver and engineer and both of course should talk... That's my point of view.
Engineers deserve respect, laptops were allready used from the 80's and since then software and experience from drivers and engineers are used to build the best cars in the world.
Is it obious that I studied electronics? :D
Pentti wed like to here your story about Jordan. Good friend of mine is in Iraq he has many similar stories.
Shame that all that good stuff (in many forums) was deleted :vader:Quote:

I agree with HaCo about the engineering part of rallying, car dynamics and handling is a extremely complicated business! Another important part however is the dialogue between the drivers and the engineers, if the drivers lacks fundamental understanding of how a car behaves, and why, the development of the car may be somewhat hindered. Loeb has this understanding, as does Bosse, and not least Schumacher, if you forgive me for mentioning him. Kenneth Eriksson is another splendid car-developer.
Freddy Loix is (was) too! :D
Ok. Here it goes. These Group N drivers with their Mitsu Evo 6's had envited to me to help in Jordan. I exlpained in phone that we need to have slow corners with a lot on run off to learn limits and go over it. They choose increple dangerous roads for no marget of errour at all. It took another day to me to find the suitable roads. My choice of roads were very good to learn but they wewre also very technical. My customers did not like that because I was driving better than them and they got tyred. It seems that they did not want loose face.A) I was quicker in their own cars and they did not want admit + they were get tyred.So they wanted to go to this special stage to practise more. So we were now in the start of one of theyr famous stages. He was speeding his engine at the start line and at the same time desperantly knacking this prayer wheel(wher are 33 knackers to send message to Allah,you are the best.) This point I asked "Surely the road is closed" His answer was not,but don't worry, Allah is with us. I looked aroud and said same time stopping engine."Newsflash.Only two of us here and very soon just you when I opened seat belts and jumped out. Next he went flat out into the distance and I coud see he was not braking over the crest doing well over 100 miles/hour. Two minutes later this Hyanday bus came over crest!!!Quote:
