Two off's now for Loeb... one in testing, one on recce. This wont do his confidence any good.
And remember this is how his last WRC rally ended...

All the air necessary for feeding the engine must pass
through this restrictor, which must respect the following:
- The power of all cars is restricted according to a minimum
power/weight ratio of 3.4 kg/hp (4.6kg/kw) in all
international rallies. The FIA shall, at all times and under
all circumstances, take all the measures necessary for the
enforcement of this power restriction.
- The diameter of the restrictors is established by the FIA
and must be mentioned in the FIA/R-GT Technical
Passport.
Pictures is from Monday, even before the new snow arrived.Quote:
