Kris was driving a short gearbox (top around 174kph), while Verschueren and Tsjoen were driving a medium one (top speed around 185kph). Data showed that on saturday Kris was driving in 5th gear for around 50% of the stage-time.Quote:

I'm quite surprised that they chose short gearbox for this rally (surprised by the decision not the fact which was quite clear from onboards).

I wonder if it was for this event, or they'll carry on like this in WRC events.
It should be only for this event and probably in Monte-Carlo, it's a typical Belgian thing. Many drivers have very detailed notes like that, many small but important things if you want to drive on the limit.
Such details are quite often in Czech notes as well. Funny one is for example ZMK in the notes of Černư. That's acronym for "Za mokra klouže" which means "slippery when wet".
