Was it better for Manfred though? He loves swinging the car around, and the oversteery 307 matched that style exactly, and was a match for the works cars during almost the entire season. I think he struggled for pace much more with the Xsara, especially in 2007, when he crashed a lot (Catalunya, Finland comes to my mind instantly).

Msport can be as furious as they like with Suninen, but he's actually just shown the car (with a few updates) can still be on the top pace. And this is far from Suninen's ideal conditions.
If Msport want to get money from Mikkelsen or any other driver later in the season, drivers like that would rather see fast pace/ good stage times than a pair of Msport cars losing 30-40secs each stage.
Mikkelsen has openly admitted he has budget this season, and that's reflected in him doing WRC and ERC, so I can imagine he was wary about putting money into Msport just to drive an old car that isn't competitive.
Suninen driving the wheels off the car in the events he does this season, will be better for them than Greensmith crawling through stages (and still crashing anyway).
Better yet they could just let Lappi or Mikkelsen (even Paddon) drive some events for free. There's been rumours they've started pricing out even the drivers who have a lot of budget, due to their excessive demands.
I'm started to wonder if Malcolm has lost his love/appetite for the sport, or those titles won with Ogier were enough for him ( and now it's purely about money/profit only, instead of even trying to win). If Greensmith wasn't putting in millions, would Msport even be here this season?

That's quite the impressive read in to 19km of stage where he's clearly proven he was over-driving the car....

stop talking about Paddon.. he has been away years (last WRC start 2018 Aussie). He is there and will stay there (NZ).
And secondly I would bet money on Tänak or Ogier being regularly in Top3 with Fiesta (without mistakes or faults obviously).

SS2 went much better - 3rd fastest R5 car!
Taking no risks at all, but the i20 R5 felt really good on that one and happy with the time while driving sensibly!Last edited by dimviii; 21st January 2021 at 16:42.

On a more positive note that Ford "oval" survived the impact with a tree and remained adhered to the rear door. Impressive adhesive!!

seems Neuville is not happy with the change.

After Day 1
It went quite well! We miss a little bit of communication and the sound is not optimum in the intercom. We will improve that. @MWydaeghe
has been doing a really good job and we went through the day with a good rhythm but without taking risks.
