He is offcourse slow, but sometimes 10 from the front retires, besides that he is a nice guy, so offcourse he should have a seat.

Don't judge them from that premiere. The car suffered some mysterious problem and had no power from 7000 rpm to rpm limiter and that is huge limitation for S2000. Antibes was no comparission in any way.

Bouffier buzzed the engine on the downshift... apparently.

The problem occured before start of SS1 and they didn't managed to find out what's wrong for all rally. I don't think it was so simple.

No news about Dudu ???? :confused:


2009 program in WRC or IRC...???

Duval said that he can drive a full WRC season by Stobart, but he must get € 1.000.000 than. He has nothing from that money until now. Structo (= Steven Vergalle, his big sponsor from this year) won't and can't pay again much in 2009. Because Pieter Tsjoen is rallying again, the budget from Vergalle is going to Tsjoen.

Duval only want to drive in IRC if people paid him or if he has a free invitation in a good context, but better than Portugal last year.
