turbo pressure is limited from regulations to 2,5 bar.
Kubicas fiesta was overboosting (more than 2,5 bar) so they told that to Msport to fix it.
Turbo pressure controlled from ecu(engine control unit)
at ecu only msport have access(ecu is locked,even teams they have buy any fiesta cant change anything at mapping)
its nothing mysterious,can happen.
unlucky Kubica,but at this rally wasn t at any good place.Go figure if he was at some 2nd or 3rd position and had a penalty of 5 minutes.

"I didn't throw anything away, but it was terrible to be first on the road here. It was that bad. Probably five seconds here. It's a shame that we have to follow the stupid historic rally."]


...the stupid historic rallly... - the unsympathetic husband of Mrs. Kaiser should know that the historics got more entries than the WRC and that it is more interesting to watch the historics

like Petter and Arne than to hear 2 days of bad comments of the french girl which cannot go fast on first road position.

Ted Ligety comes as 25th on the skiing slope and wins and he has no superior device like Sebastienne or how shall I call her..

Put Neuville and Kubica in Latvala´s and Mikkelsen´s cars and the french girl would no longer be the winner!!!


What is your opinion?

I don't have opinion for last sentences, but agree that historics have it's charm and this 2 events shouldn't mix, because each disturbs the other, so I agree with Ogier as well about this.

Ogier is right... the historics are nice especially in museums and their overweight drivers at the hamburger shop... now if they want to rally instead, they should not mix with the WRC or if they do, they should do it without intrefering with the event.

If you put kubica in the VW it would be a really bad financial choice by VAG and they do not do such things.

Neuville would be interesting on some events but no for the majority of them...

Ogier would still run in circles around them or cause them to crash.

So you don´t appreciate Neuville´s efforts today using a rather old fashioned Hyundai?

his effort is good for sure especially in an event like Sweden but his place is due to other reasons rather than pure driving and speed... if he manages to maintain that tomorrow and not eaten alive by Ogier and mikelssen then i would be really really impressed... and i am very hard to impress.

Ogier is the best rally driver in the world at the moment. He is complete, strong, fast, familiar to all surfaces etc...
Given that this year he is the most boring and whining champion I've ever known.
Read at all his statement from new years eve till today: every single sentence that came out of his mouth was referring to his start position, on every interview, at the end of all the stages, it's something like an obsession.
I mean, he can be right, I agree it's a stupid rule but all this whining and complaining is so much annoying, more if you consider he is the best.
And the ironic side of this story is that on the last 4 world rallys, being first on the road has been a huge advantage for him. In Spain he had clear view instead of dust fog (and he won champioship there), in Galles was clear that the firsts on the road had benefit too, in Monte he put snow on the road and here in Sweden in friday being first was better as well.
I wonder when he will stop whining about it if he will ever do.
