High probability it's Wilson jr. he seems to be main development driver for Ford these days. At least it is cheaper to use him than pay plane ticket for Latvala to fly over there. :D

I'm good at this, I can still remember when people were uncertain and doubting about Mikko winning in Monte Carlo this year. I was so sure about it and quite honestly didn't see any other scenario happening, he's still one of the best in the world compared to some of the IRC regulars. And what happened... :) Post #13: http://www.motorsportforums.com/foru...d.php?t=136045

Mikko won, 2nd lost nearly two minutes, 3rd over three minutes and 5th was almost nine minutes behind. I can still remember the grin on my face after the rally. :cool:

Yes, you're the unboubted master of rallying :dozey:

I remember seeing the Xsara at Rally Australia back in 2002 and even though it only finished 7th or something I knew it was going to be quick. The Fiesta doesn't look like that.

Agree completely, jeff, but it just continues to amaze me the knowledge these guys have about absolutely anything regarding rallying. ;-)

Yes you Norwegians do astound me. You have one decent driver in the WRC and you think you know everything :laugh:

The question of those discussed videos isn't if Fiesta looks slow on them because it really does look awfully slow. The question is why. And since we don't know the reason, it's impossible to judge the car from that.

Not even that. if they're not testing it at 110% then they've already lost.

Are You sure it was a proper test run? Anyway wet tarmac is usually the most boring surface to watch ;)

OK, I know you tried to be funny, but when I have a choice to believe a guy who has been in rallying for all of his life or a forum hummingbird (some say troll) .... tough one :D
