Is it what I think more testing opprtunities for Mads Östberg nowadays? And in that case maybe his improvement had got MW to think over what drivers can be actual for next year??Quote:

Do You know if Mads has WRC control tyres available for testing? Zdeněk Hrůza (co-driver of Prokop) told me that for them the control tyres are not available for testing which makes things of course very difficult...Quote:

Tavarich Mirek, do you know really how much total wheel movement the good cars have? It certainly appears Ford and Citroen have more wheel travel by a bit over Sloda, and VW, and by a real step over those poor misgeburt německý hovno?
What language is that? English-Russian-German-Czech?

For some reason Mads drove in Rally Estonia with Michelin tires. At the time it seemed strange to me, but this could be true. Neuville was on Pirellis as usual.Quote:

I think the tyre they must use in the World Rally Championship. (Pirelli)
I think that main reason why Škoda has a bit less travel is in the fact it was born mainly for asphalt. It still has more travel than it's main opponent Peugeot and usually it was faster than Peugeot on gravel. Can't be said about Ford though. I don't know any exact values, sorry, but from what I saw the travel of Polo seems quite big to me. I think that the difference in the jump above is mainly in Ogier's more flamboyant driving. When I was in NORF in 2011 Ogier and Loeb were driving both DS3 but completely different style. Loeb was very precise, straight as much as possible. Ogier was driving similar to Latvala, very wide and crazy everywhere.Quote:

I shall read also brackets (and think about it as well) :D
I think it was the opposite? Mads on Pirellis and Neuville on Michelins as usual?Quote:
