Why are the radiator braking all the time on the T16, and is the same one homologated on the Ds3?
To bad with the brake issues for Petter Kristiansen in the Fabia R2 on the first day, if not he might be fighting for 2nd. Not bad with an old car, but with new pieces in the back axle!
Seems ERC Juniors is a good series to start the international training!

Full SS4 onboard with Lappi, nice driving and the car looks superb, it handles the bumps as if it is smooth tarmac. I think they either lost the place in the notes or there was a lot of correction going on though?

Another GREAT decision by stewards. They have given some notional times from SS 13 AFTER finish of the rally. So drivers are fighting for the seconds and after all changes they change results from the table. Great job...

FIA Steward Dietmar Hinterreger (AUT)
ASN Steward Mike Sones (GB)Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

I believe Breen. It doesn't add up to stop 3k into a stage with a water leak and not just top up and carry on.
A sudden stop and then cant restart is more likely fuel pump and a new car can have many problems.
Do they really need to blatantly lie in this situation. No.Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 20th April 2014 at 00:09.

If the radiator already leaking after 3 K in the first loop I don't think it makes sense to carry on.

regarding suspension
I don't know if Skoda has it, but for sure they have lot of experience, so possible.
M-Sport for example was offering for S2000 ad WRC cars (not yet for R5) kit called "irish tarmac". There were modified gravel dampers with tarmac springs, mixed gravel/tarmac suspension parts and different spigots, shims, etc. and it was really improving driveability on rough bumpy tarmac a lot!!!

seems like the ERC was a total disgrace, as usual. but in the national champ. there were very good cars. where can I read more about it? the "British & Irish Rallying" section here is empty.
Latvala already said for 2025-2026 they should just take the hybrids out.
