First run both years with pretty similar conditions with Lefebvre and Mikkelsen who were fastest, Lefebvre is 20 sec faster to the top.

That's 15km which means the 17' car is 1.3 sec faster pr/km in uphill if i didn't calculate that wrong?

End time is 13.51 for Lefebvre in the C3 and 14:09 for Mikkelsen in the Polo over 21.36km which is 0.84 sec pr/km

if I remember right Lefebvre was on slicks,do you know at what tyres was Mikkesen at 2016?

You're right for the tyres, but anyway is this comparison for wrc cars, or R5 vs WRC cars?

WRC of course.

Looking at Mikkelsen's time this year in the R5 he did a 14.17 against 14:09 in the Polo, so maybe it was quite a bit better conditions this year.

Ah, I see You compare Mikkelsen in 2016. Well yeah, Lefebvre was on Soft tyres this run, which explains his fast time.

Thanks for posting Slowson.

hard to see with that stupid smoke, but i think breen braked a little with his left foot, while neuville and evans didn't touched the brake pedal.
