Indeed.Quote:

I wouldn't be so harsh. Baumschlager always prepared very good car with no mechanical-caused retirements through all his Škoda operations (since 2009) up to these engines problems in second half of this year. Those are however Oreca related and all Škoda teams suffered from them (including works one or VW Motorsport).
I think this is probably the case.Quote:

I see now that he did 300 kms. I supposed that the announced gravel tests of Citroen were going to take place in France. Besides Sordo drove a DS3 yesterday on the test track of Citroen Racing.Quote:

Are there any photos or videos of Sordo's test?

So while other teams are trying to struggle in pace of Citroen, they've already invented an anti-gravity WRC! Good work! No, wait...Quote:

From Paddon's facebook account today. Wonder what he has tested. Hope he manages to sort something out!
Easy car to drive. Customer-friendly Fiesta WRC?Quote:

Test Polo Wrc
Busy end of year for Loeb. He is testing again the DS3 on gravel in Almodovar, Portugal. The VW's drivers are going to be even busier than him because they are going to test in the South of France and then near Karlstadt before the end of the year.
Mikko on twitter:
” 400 km today on testing!!!! Putain, that was a tough day. But we r definetly making the most of it :-)”
Not near Karlstad i think, not much snow even when the rally is on there. Sure it's not up in Kall?Quote:

Any details about JML crash at test?
Heard that JMl hit another car at test stage crew ok.
Where is this test take part and with VW? or M-Sport??
VW test in Mexico. As it've so far been reported, a private car had entered the closed test road section and the cars collided head first. Latvala and Anttila okey, but passengers in the private car got hurt.Quote:

Why else?Quote:

If it would be sure he drives Monte with the Mini of FJ, it would have been published somewhere, French media would notice it for sure. :)Quote:
