Really?
Is there someplace to compare "winner's average km/hr " in the last few years?

Something to put real numbers to the idea?

Just curious, not arguing.

Thing I think is bad is concrete info and even good clear photos of the DETAILS of the cars is so lacking.

Oh well I gotta go work on some parts for ancient Volvo F-cup type cars.....poor me.

Real numbers? Only what Petter has said and afterall he has driven these cars so he should know ...

Seems like Petter has options for both 09 and 10 !

"We would look to run him in a 2008-specification car, we can't put him in the '09 car." Why is that??????

M1 - 09. M2 - 08 I think, no?

I suspect Petter could've done all that over the phone from home:

MW - "Hi Petter"
PS - "Hi Malcolm"
PS - "Ok, how much?, you're joking, aren't you?"
MW - "That's the best we can do, full discount too, very special price just for you Petter".
PS - "Right then, I'll let you know......Bye"

From what i understand in regards to homologation (which is limited) all privateers & M2 teams have to run older cars as they are fully homologated where-as the "current" car is constantly being developed so there is no homologation as such which allows for M-Sport & Co to develop the cars as they go. Another great FIA/ISC initiative.

I tried to explain that in another thread(or maybe this one) earlier, but I only got bashed... So there you go...4 possible winning cars in the WRC.. Way to go..

I remember you posted that idea. The counterarguments, well.... :rolleyes:

You'd think that the forum-ers were in Olivier's or Malcolm's wallet.

Excellent observation. :up:

Two teams just keep choking the competition.

The stopwatch should know better.
