There was a lot of Fiesta WRC/S2000 fires few years back (I think from rear brakes that time) and nothing special happened about that.
The fires of Fabias are a big problem and I am quite sure that everyone involved is well aware about that. I am also quite sure that it would be solved already if it was only about changing the fuel tank but it seems that the fire is a result of a chained mechanism which isn't easy to fix. On the other hand it doesn't appear that often. There are dozens of Fabias here in CZ and through the years I know about one burnt completely and one where the fire was extinguished successfully.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

DE: You call that modern? C'mon, the gauges rotate in same direction!

Yes I also thought about this. Tanak has horrible Mexico record (including the lake swim).
Mikkelsen actually has quite bad stats in Mexico too.
So I'd rank favorites like this:
Group 1: Meeke (depends on confidence after Sweden), Latvala (provided car works)
Group 2: Mikkelsen, Ogier (road position)
Group 3: Tanak, Neuville (road position)
Loeb is impossible to predict.

If it's enough reduction to enable some extra Rally1 cars with WRC Promotor help it's only a good thing if only for the next 18 months. WRC Promoter’s Senior Director of Sport, Peter Thul added:...
