Waiting to see megane against a proper driver with evo X.
Juho has got infinitely better on tarmac over the last couple of years, but I still dont see him as an equal tarmac-gravel driver, whereas Andreas is progressing equally on both gravel and tarmac which should set him up well for a couple of years.Quote:

Are you serious?Quote:

Maybe at the moment it's bit up to the car also, because Fabia Evo 2 is excellent on tarmac but not as perfect on gravel.
“It was a fourth-gear left-hander about a third of the way into the stage where he went off. There was damage to the front-right of the car. It was the same place where Kris Meeke crashed in 2009. It’s hard to say but there was a bit of a wait before the start and maybe he got caught out by being on cold tyres.”

Problems for Basso on shakedown? He seemed to only do one slow run.

Not many others have had such experience by the age of 23 have they?Quote:

Like I say, his improvement has been massive so maybe I'm wrong on Juho. I still think that if he was in the WRC, he'd challenge much higher on gravel than on tarmac though - just my personal opinion.Quote:
