Why? Polo WRC will be based on Polo-R model which has NOT been introduced so far so they can't use it anyway although it is basically very similar with Fabia platform. Compared to that Fabia is fully working car and You can test whatever You want in real rallies because You can simply homologate new parts for use in Fabia without any risk for yet not homologated Polo. For sure You understand that testing in real events against real opposition is much more valuable that somewhere on private grounds.Quote:

yes, but the fabia is a different car than a wrc.....sure they have similarities and they can draw some conclusions but i think to devote so many resources testing on a car that they will not use eventually i think it will not have a good outcome...we saw how their program went in Finland.Quote:

Have you ever ran a WRC team?Quote:

I am expressing my opinion here nothing more...
The Citroen team tested the wrc car for 2 years in the case of xsara and 1.5 in the case of C4 ..... and that worked well in my opinion.
the WV team so far are testing a car that is different to a WRC (around 300.000 euros different which i think its quite a difference) with various amateur drivers... so far they seem to have an amateur approach. The fact they actually do not plan to eneter at least a few rounds (so far) with their WRC car next year and go at full attack in 2013 seems a bit risky....
All the evidence show that their programm seems not to have a strategic organisational plan.
VW has ran countless other racing projects , so you arguing that they are making a mistake for "trying " to come to grips with rallying by testing a car that is under their umbrella is kind of stupid. You have no idea what they are testing or what they are doing , for all we know the gearbox could be something they built that they are testing for the WRC and many other systems on the car.Quote:

I shall have you know the first Xara's rallied were converted from the FWD cars to the 4wd WRC , i guess citroen were unprofessional as well too?
