The mini wrc looks stable on tarmac. Big ups for the Prodrive team.
and Ogier got his win thanks to Loebs problems and mistakes, thats what makes rallying the sport it is.
winners do benefit from others mistakes
The prizes are given at end of the event.... hence you are 100% correct !!Quote:

Tarmac racing is one area where Prodrive/Mini benefits significantly from their partner Öhlins. As Öhlins basically rules the track racing series with production based cars. And is single supplier to for instance MotoGp.
This must have some if not a big influence in their speed in Germany, and I don`t mean anything bad with this it`s a good thing for Mini.
On the other hand Öhlins has been more or less out of the picture on Gravel for some 10 years and also that is notable. Anyhow they sure got the resources to improve alot also on gravel so I think the Mini project looks surprisingly positive at the moment although I was sceptical at first..
i disagree...why ??
