Biggest difference is in the way the differentials work, seemingly alot better than Ford which is especially noticable on slow twisty roads, no major difference on fast roads. Also engine and suspension no major difference! This is said after the first tests...Quote:

Officially Mikko can't talk anything about Citroen before 1st of January because his Ford/M-Sport contract ends 31st of December.

Haha, JML seems to be experimenting the limits of his tarmac driving. :)
Martin Prokop will test his Fiesta WRC next week!

Grip on tarmac is OK, grip on tree bark not so good and grip on air very slippy.Quote:

Usually, when a car crashes, the team goes with many people to pick the car and analyse what happened...Quote:

The deal with Abu Dhabi has probably not officially ended yet. I think they will be obliged to have it on there till much closer to the end of this year. Who knows M-Sport may have gotten an extension with them.Quote:

why does North One employ these people to create the television footage. their videos are always brilliant
Car is prepared for hillclimbing. Currently I have no more news about it, engine seems to be from evo10, gearbox surely not sequential.Quote:

Hope someone is filming the snowtesting, looks so dull with that wet tarmac especially in the Fiesta.
Hope that snow apears in this event.
Nice!
Thanks! Oh, how nice it looks!!Quote:

I do not know if this way of driving on tarmac is fast, but i like it....
Loeb's gonna show the fastest tarmac driving style pretty soon... it's likeable and winnable too.
Cool! I have not seen a wrc car being driven like that on tarmac for many years! It's like the good old days in the 90's. Very cool. But I think he is just having fun. In Monte he will probably be neat and tidy like always. But we can hope!Quote:
