Sordo can compete in Drift Races :) he always has a reason why not to make a good race
Of all the read news, I can bet that Loeb will not finish Dakar Rally. The car will be "broken" for justification. So do not worry about the tests will start on time.
He probably have last shot at it. I don't think that he will jeopard it just for Monte tests. He will have them anyway even if he finish Dakar. It's just that he will not have much time to rest between events. I will not be surprised if he will take it easy at MC and finish close to the podium or even on it, hahaha.
AFAIK yes. I think he left after 2005.
The gearbox story on 307 is the definition of perfect engineering meeting inperfect reality.
Engineers calculated that each shift costs some time so it's better to have 4 gears with very good engine that has good power over wide revband and therefore less shifts and in the end better speed.
In reality drivers always "felt" they were in wrong gear and changed gears more often, losing time. (can argue that it could work if drivers just "learned" the car, but that could take quite some time)
After a year(I think) they changed to 5 speed gearbox and 307 was relatively competetive even with 2nd rate drivers (Stohl, H. Solberg, Galli) for quite a while. (even though it was bigger than most other cars).
I have no idea how much Nandan was involved in all that though.
