Someone PM'ed me saying that Loeb was 1 second behind Kovalainen in the test. Don't know how correct that is but it's about what I'd expect from Sebastien.

less than one second? wow I'm impressed
Anyone know if the Reno had TC?... Its still a amazing achievement if it did, but if not... its absolutely phenomenal !
Amazing! I was hoping for these results.
Was that compared with Kovalainens lap time last year?Quote:

If the difference was only 0.4 sec there must have been external factors. In that case Heikki probably drove only few laps at the start and sweeped the track from dust. Does anyone know what was Sordo's time? Did he same number of laps with Seb?
By the way Heikki is extremely talented in rallying. He has done only two proper stages in his life and he instantly was fast in difficult conditions (Tunturi rally in the evening). If I remember he lost only seven second to Kristian Sohlberg (tough Solberg was taking it easy as there was no more competition). Everyone knows that few years back Heikki won Seb clearly with Peugeot 307 wrc and set the fastest time of the day with that car (despite the fact that Seb had done many run with it).
But at the end of the day it was only a SSS. Rallying is so much more than SSS'sQuote:
