Remember Loeb in Mexico a couple of years back? I think they changed his engine and the changed it back?

Interesting, so Superrally was out of question for Bruno even if they alot of budget they wouldn't get him to start again.

venerdì alle 23.15
Giandomenico Basso: Abbiamo finito la giornata: è stata abbastanza dura. Stiamo cercando di andare al massimo, sappiamo comunque che abbia
mo un motore "test" che non ha molto potenza rispetto a quello che abbiamo usato in Ucreaina e in Gran Canaria, perchè purtroppo si è rotto ieri quindi dobbiamo usare questo, sperando sia più affidabile anche se andrà un pò meno

Giandomenico Basso: "E' dura, è difficile. Stiamo cercando di dare il massimo. Dopo il problema di motore che abbiamo avuto ieri e non siamo riusciti a fare lo shakedown, abbiamo dovuto cambiare il motore e probabilmente ci siamo tenuti dalla parte della ragione, perchè mi sembra che non spinga come al solito, quindi sto faticando ancora di più.

Well, I'm not an expert in Italian... but... this two quotes from Basso... says that they changed the engine...

Friday, 23:15
Giandomenico Basso: "We finished the day: it was pretty difficult. We are trying to go as fast as we can, anyway we know that we have a "test"-engine, it is less powerful than the one we used in Uckraine and Canarias, because yesterday we broke it, so we have to use this other one, hoping that it is more reliable, even if less powerful".

It is possible to change engine before rally, if you broke it during shakedown.
