Magalhaes/ Graves has driven well this weekend.

They went off on SS6 and did not drive SS7.
For the rest of the rally they did:
11 fastest times, 4 2nd fastest and a third fastest in GR N.

They ended up in 3rd, 1 min 59 sek behind the winner Flodin, and 25 sek behind number two - thats not a bad start, and clearly shows that the car has a lot of potential !!!

That's right, great performance from Magalhaes. Now we know that the 207 S2000 is very fast.
Apparently, in the last stages of Saturday and Sunday, he chose to take no risks in order to score points in the Portuguese championship (each day was a new round of the Portuguese championship). that's why he wasn't fastest in Gr. N in every stage.
When pushing, he set some impressive times.

Mistake !! They didn't go off, the SADEV made gearbox has broken one more time

[M5]

Ok, my mistake - but the car shows greate promise !!


But the french boxes, are starting to become a problem.

[Karbonyl]

Not became, they already ARE a problem fom the beginning of this group. E.G. one of the reasons, why project of Logan S2000 two years ago was stopped...

Gearbox problems are why FIA is allowing others to supply the gearboxes in future - Ricardo is one.

[Brother John]

They should use a real gearbox like group N.

They should use a real gearbox like group N.

Real gearbox?

There is Gr. N and there is "Gr.N".

Somebody uses Ricardo and other uses "phankel" or how they say it.

And Ricardo is not a good enough gearbox thought.

[milly]

Xtrac and Ricardo will be the other gearbox suppliers.

Technically Group N don't use a 'real gearbox'. IMO, a real gearbox uses a clutch to change gear whereas most Group N cars now use a 'dog box' which doesnt require a clutch to change gear, its not a neccessity.
