For the car, which is in production for five years, if I'm correct; those troubles are strange....

Campedelli and his team manager have moaned all year long but the fact is that they have been slower and they should first blame themselves.
I really don't like all these polemics every year. CIR could have been a wonderful show but it's ruined by people trying to sabotage each other both in the stages and outside the cars.
Organization should think how to revive and innovate a sport and a federation who is stopped at 20 years ago (hell even 50yrs old driver are still faster. Rossetti won the rally and Ucci the championship, this must mean something...). Instead they are only good to keep their chairs safe. It's a pity because in terms of athletes, roads and show the championship is one of the best among the nationals.
quite the opposite.Only you see ''strange'' problems.Quote:

No, it's not strange.Quote:

In fact it happen pretty often and a city stage is exactly the place where driveshafts get extremely loaded.
Electrical problems is something what happens. don't see anything strange here.
Broken wheel hub was a pretty common issue for Fiestas during the summer. Some wheel hubs were defective. The same happened all over the Europe. For example to Pech and Černư on Barum.
Dimviii is right. There is absolutely nothing strange to be seen here. Just take down the tinfoil hat.
I read somewhere that Campedelli's team manager said that he hit a stone that was prepared for him on one of the rallies a few weeks ago. He reportedly threatened the Italian federation to withdraw his team from the championship if such things continue.Quote:

This is what I was talking about, it apparently happened during Rally di Roma Capitale:Quote:
