Really? Loubet has already shown good progress in rally1 car. And in that video is testing a archaic fiesta in conditions he isn't used to.Quote:

Regarding the handling of the car: Let's just say that it's not quite like it was couple years ago when I went to Citroen. This is surprisingly simple (to handle).

Just just me or from this angle looks very similar to Toyotas wing?Quote:

Let him try it on proper gravel or tarmac stages and then ask again..
OR
maybe his pace is a bit lower, where the i20 does feel simple and good to drive?
But when a driver has to push the very last drop out of it to win, it is far from simple or comfort..
Yeah... well, one can think that what else could he say? But imagine if they actually did repair the handling problem Ott and Thierry were talking about. For the sake of an exciting season, let's hope it's true.Quote:

Towards the end the car was competitive in Tänak and Neuvilles hands, when they were winning rallys they didn't complain to much. Clearly the development work payed off.Quote:

yes, but still they have way fewer things to play with than the previous spec. don't think 16 wing mirror is more expensive than 16 combinations of winglets on a front bumper...Quote:

Your last part is spot on, no matter what price caps, regulations etc they put on. They who have money will always find a way to spend itQuote:

Maybe time for a cost cap then, a la F1.Quote:

For me they can start in Monte with this livery and I will be very happy. That looks so badass!Quote:
