Snijers is back... but does he have any chance to win his 45th rally in the ERC?
https://www.fiaerc.com/ypres-and-erc...ve-r5-peugeot/
If 15 fastest R5 competitors retire, yes... Big respect for Patrick Snijers, for what he has proved during his long career. Fact is that now he is becoming an older driver, he has no rhythm, did only one rally so far this year. Also, his driving style isn't really adapted to R5 cars, we've seen it in Sezoens Rally (an event that probably suits him more than Ypres). Maybe the 208 R5 accepts his brutal driving more than the Fiesta R5, let's hope... :)Quote:

What about the weather prediction?
This Tänak thing is really weird. i hope to get some more info this week.
Hot and mostly dry, but with a chance of some (big) thunderstorms...Quote:

Lukyanuk was really fast yesterday on test, we will see how he can transform it for the rally.
I think more the second.. Money doesn't seem an issue if you see their program's in rallying :pQuote:

I think you mean Barum 2014. Tanak quite slow in this event:Quote:

15 - 20 HP more in Citroen DS3 R5?

Will Lefebvre and Bouffier have evo DS3s for Ypres?
Maybe in some rpm but I don't believe that it's possible at the peak, otherwise they would have peak power similar to WRC cars.Quote:

No las pudimos probar porque es un joker que Citroën homologa. Es un paquete de evoluciones con varios componentes que se tienen que montar todos a la vez, es un todo o nada. No lo tenemos a día de hoy porque la dirección parece que no es del agrado de los pilotos y da algún que otro problema de rendimiento. Se trata de un motor eléctrico de dirección asistida e hidráulica y aunque todo lo demás si funciona, no puedes montarlo. El objetivo final de toda la evolución es enfriar el aire de admisión. Para eso se cambian los radiadores, intercooler… En este sentido, se ha dado un paso hacia adelante, pero hay que evitar los problemas con la dirección.
Looks more wet than dry on the forecast I've just watched, especially on Saturday..Quote:

Half of that seems more likely. Bonato and Dilley were driving Evo DS3s this weekend, and Bonato didn't like the new power steering, saying that it gives no info about the grip conditions. That's quite sad since the whole concept of the new PAS was to enhance this compared to the old one... (and to make room for the new radiator and intercooler)Quote:

But it should be sunny and not so windy :)Quote:

Catie Munnings rolled on a test today.

It’s more than sad, it’s a mess! Finally the cooling issues were fixed and some extra hp found but now there’s a problem with the electrical power steering from the evo kit...it's the perfect way to revamp their R5 sales. Let's hope Lefebvre will be inspired!Quote:

Sainteloc is looking for another 208 for Catie Munnings.
Røkland has a "new" rebuild one at home for rent :)Quote:
