What are the times you setting? Just how fast is Fiesta R5 to compere with S2000 cars?
- I would be leading rally now more than minute in front of others.
It is unclear when that question was asked though. If it was after day one it was very impressive, if it was half way through day two when Freddy had slowed down then less so...Quote:

After SS5 Loix had no opponent and was only cruising according to splits and trying not to pick a puncture. It was clearly visible on his driving in fast places and also Fred Miclotte confirmed that to me. In first stages the difference was very small between them. On a distance I measured (cca 1 km long section close to the end of stage 1) Loix was faster than Neuville by 1,1 seconds and slower than Meeke by 0,2 seconds. I measured same way also sections in SS6 and 19 but there Loix was not pushing. For the R5 in both these cases Neuville was faster than Meeke. Loix was in both cases on par with Meeke in those particular sections.Quote:

If true than it's interesting that on second Vleteren - Krombeke stage on my spot not far from start Loix reached rpm limiter in almost same place as Neuville and Meeke. Loix had top speed 182 km/h.Quote:

Mirek, why do you say they can't? New Fabia will be launched in March 2014...
I don't think so. I'll send You PM.
