Serderidis retired in Luxembourg yesterday. The reason was a broken ECU.
Isn't that the third reliability issue with the R5 car already?? HmmQuote:

SS / Fiesta / 208 / Fastest S2000
1 / 8'20"3 / 8'11"7 / 8'12"4 (Loix)
2 / 13'14"3 / 13'08"7 / 13'20"5 (Loix)
4 / 8'29"3 / 8'42"8 / 8'37"4 (Loix)
7 / 7'34"9 / 9'18"0 / 7'38"2 (Breen) --puncture for Meeke--
8 / 6'46"6 / 6'50"3 / 6'53"3 (Breen)
15/ 7'32"0 / 7'31"9 / 7'34"4 (Bouffier)
16/ 6'37"2 / 6'38"7 / 6'41"1 (Bouffier)
17/ 4'29"6 / 4'23"6 / 4'21"1 (Breen)
18/ 7'50"7 / 7'57"4 / 8'01"0 (Bouffier)
19/ 7'57"7 / 8'17"0 / 8'13"1 (Bouffier)
What can we learn from these times? Not much really, except that the R5 cars are able to be faster than S2000 cars... Wanted to share it anyway. :)
Meeke said in a recent interview that after 80 kms in Ypres there was just 0.6 secs difference between him and Neuville.
Could be, depends on what stages you take into your calculation? :) Meeke finished only half of the stages by the way... By the way, a conspirancy theory by Loix, in autonews magazine... :D "The R5's were a disadvantage for us. Especially Kris Meeke played the game in favor of Peugeot, by cutting extra deep and throwing dirt on the road everywhere. At seeing the road I could tell if Meeke had done it or not." - Told by someone who is master in throwing dirt on the road for following cars. :pQuote:

Haven't all the m-sport fiestas (wrc, s2000, r5) all had electrical issues?
Not enough testing?Quote:
