    This is what Kajto said about Rally of Turkey in his press release:

    "We have completed seven special stages, totalling almost 150 kilometres. The second loop looked like a huge pile of stones, with route charted through it – and we have to drive on it. Even with extreme caution, it was quite easy to get a puncture and we also suffered. I think it would be really difficult to find someone who did not have any problems. You have to take a really unusual line on these roads, sometimes we have to weave on the straights. The road is unbelievably destroyed."

    One remark - what we hear from drivers are usually official statments and press releases. Who knows what they say behind the scenes?

    I guess we'll have to wait for next year's entry list to see what everyone made of it.

    Regarding tyres in Turkey, the remark Henning made, was on the tyredifference between RC1 and RC2 cars. He said that in this rally he could have been even closer to the RC1 cars if he had bolted on same type of tyre as they are using.

    Aprox 10 kg of reinforements btw the two types of tyres.

    But if you add strength on tyre, then something else on the car will brake first, often something else in the wheel/suspension area. The weakest link will simply move!

    The natural thing to do, is then to drive slower to make sure the car holds together in one piece. That is also an important part of rally.
