Yes, that's pure b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t. Engine of Kopecký is mechanically same with other up to date Fabias. The difference is in mapping but that's more about the torque curve than maximum power (torque is more important on gravel anyway), even there the difference isn't big. Anyway my estimation is that Kopecký has some +- 290 Hp. I don't believe 300+ numbers. DS3 of Kubica must have around 270-280 Hp but much more torque which means that Fabia's only real advantage shall be around maximum speed (on the other hand it hits the rpm limiter sooner). Jänner was extremely slippery, Acores too and in such conditions torque means more than power. Acores and Canarias are very twisty which also prefers torque over maximum power.
the ''team'' must be Sainteloc?Quote:

That's the more strange that until few months a go Bryan spent years as Peugeot factory driver.
Of course it was SaintEloc. As I said earlier, suppose one less driver for Breen to try and beat. Unfortunate. And even if Peugeot Sport said no to Chetail (or whoever was in charge of SaintEloc) I presume Bouffier wasn't told. Sounds from the information so far available that it was nothing more than selfish behaviour from SaintEloc..
Hugo Magalhães has uploaded a full onboard of Coroa da Mata 2 (scratch with a time of 7:13.2). Sousa and him usually upload most of their onboards after each rally.
Regarding the presence of a former world champion, during the rally we learn from the mouth of the president of the organization that should have been Marcus Gronholm. The presence did not materialize due to the refusal of his woman. She did not give permission. :D
