May I correct you and say thay Fiesta R5 could sound better. 208 was quite good sounding machine.Quote:

These cars have a lot of potential when fully developed, could they replace WRCars?
Can't see any particular reason to think that. Latvala has been slower than Ogier all year and was slower on SS1 too.Quote:

Neuville if he stay inside the road at this pace very impressive.
Ostberg not so good,waiting more speed.Seems that he has stucked to do the ''last step''
Ogier waiting to be faster.Lets wait to see day2.
Hirvonen not bad,depents from which point of view you see his pace.From his previous rallies is much better,but if you compare him with Neuville,or Meeke not impressive at all.
Sordo,no comment,wish Meeke take his seat.Seems that he is not up for a works seat.
Latvala at first rallies he was searching his speed,when he found the speed he is back on his usual business with rocks inside the road.
Novikov not bad,at least inside the road.
Nikara good with a car that for sure his evolution must have stopped months ago.Want to see him at tomorow ''proper ''stages
wrc2
Kubica impressive without other words.Cant remember somebody with this pace at first visit at Finland.
Paddon very good considering his competition kms this year.
Lappi not impressive till now.Lets wait tomorrow for a better view.
Kruuda last rallies give me the impression that he evolves.At this rally i am sure.
Evans very impressive.
Ketomaa at his phisical position.Maybe his best rally if will finish like this.
Lukyanuk this guy deserves a r5 or a s2000 car.On par with Salo inside Finland is not easy.Specially at your first attempt.Except that his difference on some stages with wrc2 is very small for a N4 car at this rally(jumps)
lol look Neuvilles face
Neste Oil Rally Finland
Thoughts on day 1
Great to have a Ford leading a WRC event again and Neuville is a real suprise package out performing his team-mates.
Also great to have a close battle for the lead with Ogier not running away with it (yet).
Looks like Novikov is determined to finish, so taking it steady... understandable, but a bit of a shame as he is fast.
As for JML and Hirvo... same old, same old...
Meeke and Evans both doing a good job representing the Brits back in Finland at last.
