Excellent... And just few days back I heard F1 rumours that he wouldn't be able to lift a glass of water with the hand... Clearly that was all total BS.Quote:

He has always been a big fan of rallying. This is Fabia he bought from Kopecký already in 2009 I think. I met him even on some Czech local rallysprint some years a go...
You might want to take a look at the driver rosters in F1 now, especially Williams and the new test driver for Marussia. More opportunity only if you have backings of large oil entities, but this is true for rallying now too I guess. WRC is a poor selection, but atleast there is young driver program, SWRC and S2000, the problem was the manufacturers pushing for the 1.6l turbo and FIA not doing enough to get rid of PWRC and popularize R3 and R4 categories.Quote:

I'd like to know some truth to this since I don't see him in the car, although he probably is to be there anywau, but if its true its great news to see him back in fit shape and driving. He's brave to step back to a similar car he crashed with and rallying at that.Quote:

This car was used in only four events by Kopecký and Sainz plus in several shows. I don't see why Kubica would take it out of the garage just to walk around it or to put someone else in ;)Quote:

Stefan Sarazin from the same team will drive 6 rounds in France with 307 WRC and recently made a test with it but I cant find the video.
Sarazin is a busy man!Quote:

Video test Peugeot 208 R2. To me it looks very very fast for R2 car! Also the suspension looks softer than in C2 R2.
