i expect to be just little tenths slower the new wrc in first half season,and not in all events.Also expect at fast rallies to be equal very early.
Does anybody know if in Sweden we are going to have exactly same ss like previous years to have a good basis for conclusions/comparisons?

Depends on which rally.
In sweden up to 1 sec slower. And Finland also maybe 0,75 sec slower. Because they are very fast rallies and the 1,6T engine don´t have the torque to get same speed at 6th gear.
Then in some slower events maybe midseason equal.
At the end of the year it will be slightly faster....."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

My guess is 0,4-0,8 sec/km (depending on the type of rally) in the beginning. By the end of season half of that. During 2010 2011WRC will catch up with 2010WRC.
Juho Hänninen won N4 in NORF with Skoda both 2009 and 2010. In 2009 he was 10th overall and was 2,48 sec/km slower than the winner. In 2010 he was 9th overall and 1,76 sec/km (0,72 sec/km faster than 2009) slower than the winner. Does this improvement tell something about the improvements of the S2000 cars?
Patrik Flodin with Subaru won the traditional N4 in 2009 (13th overall) and he was 3,48 sec/km (1 sec/km compared to Juho) slower than the winner. In 2010 the winner was Ott Tänak (18th overall, more S2000 in 2010) and he was 2,97 sec/km (1,21 sec/km compared to Juho) slower than the winner.
I expect the gap will be bigger for 2011WRC in rallies where there is more acceleration from low speed (tight corners, junctions and hairpins). These kinds of rallies prefer cars with more torque like the 2010WRC.“Don’t eat the yellow snow” Frank Zappa

Actually I meant 2012. By the end of 2011 I predict the gap will be halve compared to the beginning of 2011.
I just listened to the interview of Juha Kankkunen and he said just the opposite.“Don’t eat the yellow snow” Frank Zappa
