Paddon is finding it hard to gather enough cash to complete the SWRC season. If he can get the money together, he hope to contest some rounds next year in a WRC-spec car (unclear what make).

paddon is a talent, but won't be at petters level at 2-3 yrs more.
neuville has a better car then petter (citroen is clearly better than ford, i doubt he has different spec than seb og mikko), he actually impressed me this weekend, but still he isn't at petters level yet.
Subjective opinion without factual basis.
I agree 100% with you. Already two&three years ago we had to listen to this crap about C4 was a better car than Focus and now we are facing again situation with DS3 and Fiesta. Only P.Solberg or Mikko know the differences and advantages/disadvantages of each car and as much I can remeber nowebody of them stated that on car is so much better that this brings obvious advantage in driving at full.Quote:

In general I agree but I do remember Mikko saying something about the Citroen being much easier to handle on flowing roads as it's less twitchy - results from Finland would support this, and also the fact that Petter and JML have been very quick on the twisty stuff and slower on the faster, flowier stages. Also Sordo commented on the twitchiness of the Ford compared to the Mini as far as I remember.Quote:

Why would he prefer IRC instead of SWRC? IRC is based on tarmac, where Lappi has no experience. Maybe the reason is financial. ;)Quote:
