But I suppose that the difference with acceleration was the better exploitation of engine power band in the Xsara (and 307).

I just read short quote from that interview and it was told that Peugeot's engine was the best ever wrc-engine. Was that misunderstanding? Were they comparing the new Focus to older model (03-05) or to Pug?

Last year I saw twice simultaneous view from the cars and Citroen's acceleration was hugely better than Ford's (from Finland and Catalonia). Also Citroen's top-speed in Finland was much better than other teams - despite the fact that Ford had chose extra-long transmission for that event because before Finland they were 15-20 km/h behind Citroen (according to Grönholm's words).

Well, depends if Wilson gets through without any mistakes...

Shouldn't the days first SS be away about now?

Any one got the link to Ken Blocks blog

Anyone knows what caused Mikco baldacci to loose all that time yesterday?
