    Nothing new really. Matthew Wilson had some 7th places overall in seasons where he got a lot of 5th and 6th places in rallies.

    And was it not in 2006 where Manfred Stohl got 4th in the championship with the privateer-run 307? All respect to him, he is a PWRC World Champ after all, but it wasn't exactly a sign of the strength of the WRC-field in 06!

    Greensmith and Katsuta will be neck and neck this year, in its own class.

    I'm guessing the rear of the roll cage is designed to crush easier than the front?

    at rear there is a big distance between bumper and rollcage,thats why we have such a big setback of the car of car.
    But there ,there is not something to protect.

    Point of impact was near the middle of rear hatch and then pushing against the rear edge of main hoop, which is not where it is not so strong against being impacted.
