    People have had issues with PSA cars and gear boxes the last 15 years... most recent they're fine.

    In saying that FORD and VW have issues with their gear boxes in road cars... so funny they still haven't rectified it for the public!

    That's called marketing strategy. Like Peugeot 206 (you all know what I'm talking about) 😂

    Estonian portal had long article (longest i have seen for quite some time) about Tänak and his family. Nothing sensational, pretty standard stuff about jugglling family and job which requires lot of traveling. Feminists would be pissed off as Otts' wife admits that she gave up promising career in finance in order to be good housewife while Ott is earning money. Also some nice pictures, one of which i upload here, copyright probably delfi.ee . On the drivers sead is Otts' 4year old daughter Mia driving buggy which her grandfather (also former rally driver as most of you know) had purchased for her. Ott also said that while he tries to provide to his children everything they want (they already have 2 real ponys ) he would prefer if Mia would not become rally driver but would do something more feminine. Journalist wrote how Mia drove around in buggy, so there is good chance that Ott may not get his wish and we may have new Michele Mouton

    Does this make my ”Tänak will struggle with the new car” crystal ball prediction correct?

    Struggle may be a step too far considering he won 3 rallys

    Did you read it? He says ”Normally the car is good when the conditions are consistent, but if they are constantly changing then we struggle a little bit."

    Yeah, but only recently. He was definitely struggling in Portugal & Sardegna.
