If I see the recent pics the IRC have now also an original name stickers on the windows if you see they put the Pilot's name like in the WRC but the co-pilot's name is also on it what is not in the WRC though the name is in a smaller font :)

Looks like Thierry Neuville impressed people at Kronos and BFGoodrich during his tests, according to http://www.turbomagazine.be/ :)
That's a great video! They both look fast but Duval in particular looks stunning, on the rev limiter in top gear round some bends!Quote:

Fast Freddy's livery for Ypres :eek: :confused:

Thanks everybody for the nice pictures and Video's of the test.. :) .. see you all next week... its going to be interesting Rally for sure..
GTA/Imperatore: Have you started to notice any differences btw the two VAG S2000 cars, and what is Duval saying that have driven both ?
Can the Polo "Learn" anything from the Fabia, or is the same driver as fast with both of them ?
We have 2 Top drivers with 2 Good cars, that are both being very well prepared by the same team.Quote:

Best of Luck for the team !

I must say: not bad at all :D
How excitement! :D
Bengue's Corsica is nice!
Onboard from Duval: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTqbtdEegSA
He says after the first test runs that he thought the Punto's engine was better but they made some adjustments which made the car better. I am really surprised at that, because I don't think the Punto's engine is better in any way shape or form! My only guess is that the Punto was running a shorter gearbox which was better for accelleration but not top speed. Or have S2000 weights increased since he drove Punto on Condroz?
Yes, S2000 got 50 kg more and second one also yes, Fabia has longer gearing than that Punto probably had. Also the first two gears are visibly longer in Fabia in my opinion.
