Sandell surprised me in Finland and Germany but overall I would say he is behind Meeke, Hanninen, PG, Ketomaa and maybe some others. Do you know what his plans are for next year?Quote:

Then another frenchman comes along and he can win 2 rallies in his first year...........
It reminds me of the saying "all are equal, but some are more equal than others..............."
You must fight for yourself and it's a cruel world..
It would be better if there were a manufacturer points scoring system like there is in IRC, then Citroen would be encouraged to support strong private drivers like Petter. Instead it looks like we are continuing with the pretend teams again next year.Quote:

Good point. By all accounts Hirvonen and Latvala won't have driven one until next month. Loeb has had 3 days in the DS3T, Sordo maybe only 1 or 2 days, not sure about Ogier, remember when he was flirting with M-Sport wasn't apparently allowed to test and Meeke has had 2 or 3 days with the Citroen and 2 days with the Min Bin. For the purpose of Barreis's statement it's a lot of test days for all concerned especially Meeke but in reality it's all academic, there's 3 or 4 months until Sweden.Quote:

Maybe because it is 4WD and it’s bigger than the other models. I was wondering why it hasn’t wider fenders but in fact it’s a wide car, 1830 mm (if I remember right the max width is 1820 mm ???).Quote:

Yes, but why make it an nationality issue, Delecour and Auriol got the same stuff, from Peugeot, Dele got the boot in the middle of a dinner.Quote:

In many ballsport if they win in lower leagues they play next year in higher league, but that has never been the case in motorsport, and will never be.
