Target for Greensmith should be P6 in the championship this year. Should beat all part timers and Katsuta at minimum.

Target for Greensmith should be P6 in the championship this year. Should beat all part timers and Katsuta at minimum.
My personal opinion is it’s more important for him to show some actual speed this year rather than just be consistently average. I wish him the best, but I think he needs to show something we haven’t really seen yet, actually something similar to what Katsuta did last year. Some good speed, a podium and some consistency, hopefully for him without the mid season slump Katsuta had.
Greensmith says about Arctic
Greensmith's best stage time was 9th. Basically always the slowest WRC, except for SS2 where Ogier had road cleaning issues and SS10 where Loubet spun.Quote:
Although the result wasn’t great, the performance relative to Teemu [Suninen] who’s fought for wins in those conditions before was actually very strong
It's true that the Fiestas were often the two slowest WRC's, especially on the very fast stages, but Suninen managed to get to 4th on two stages and be clearly faster than Greensmith on a number of stages, like SS9 where Suninen lost 13.9s, Greensmith 24.6s.
The closest Greensmith got to a stage win was Portugal SS1 (0.5s). There's also other good stage positions in Portugal and Safari, but always losing by several seconds. And in many occasions Fourmaux was faster than him, even on gravel.
I really hope the Puma is as quick or quicker than the two others. Would be much more exiting with 3 potential winning cars.
Breen boyant after Puma tests...

'When you’ve picked up a World Rally Car from the bottom of a Méxican lake and made it work the next day, fixing one that’s tumbled down a mountain is no problem for M-Sport.
It was an all-nighter, but the Ford Puma Rally1 Hybrid that Craig Breen crashed on Wednesday is back on the road in the hands of Gus Greensmith on Thursday.
“I’m surprised you’re surprised,” said team principal Richard Millener. “This is what we do."

The spaceframe cars shall be much easier to repair than the steel bodyshells. I'm not surprised.
