I like it !!!

It would be nice if Citroen Loeb stay one more year and it is quite likely despite the propaganda kitties mewing all the time...

Some people seem to prefer slow motion rallying like in the 80s where every tourist driver could win... it is nice everything evolves and people that stay behind are in agony feeding their pain only with hate towards succefull people.

Continue crying, soon enough your tears will be enough to bathe in them.

Also the engineers at VW are hoping for more feedback from the nr.1 driver at VW...

That is interesting fact indeed. May be that is normal for a few reasons:
1) It is their first test in Finland, so I guess just tried out how the car is going on this roads without pushing to the limit.
2) May be more important test there would be the suspension itself, rather than speed.

After all as Jost Capito says "it is easier to make slow and strong car faster, than fast and weak car stronger" :s mokin:

I find Capitos saying quit different to what all others have been saying in the past, usually it`s easier to make a fast car strong than a slow and strong car fast. and I`m not meaning that the VW is slow..
Think of it yuorselves, if something brakes you can see where it breakes and make it stronger, but if a car is slow it`s not at all that easy to find out why as several factors can influence that!

+1
some times is impossible to fix the speed,specially if it is a design mistake at chassis,weight distribution,dimensions etc something that you can t change homologating part/s
