I don't think there is any chance of them working together again.
Gilsoul seemed to have moved on. His target is Dakar 2022. He was taking some lessons from Michel Perrin already this week. He used to do orientation and regularity rallies when he was young (one of the best codrivers in Belgium in that) so should do very good in Dakar I recon.

Mads just said Neuville did one of the best performances he´d seen.

I have never said that. I said that peak power values of WRC cars are most likely nearly same and not the thing which makes the difference. The shape of the power curve is what you need to look at and restricted turbo engines have completely different power curve than your naturally aspirated Opel. Restrictor causes that the equation "more RPM = more power" doesn't apply. Therefore top speed at RPM limiter is not reached at peak power point. Hence why peak power value has nothing to do with the top speed.

@ Rallyper: This is Fiesta R5 original and Evo power and torque curve (with the improvement values) - original one, not Mk II. For sure the current WRC cars have the peak power higher but it is good for the general idea of restricted turbo engines. You can see that Fiesta R5 gained only 2Hp peak power through its development (because of restrictor) but even over 30 Hp in low RPM due to the raise of torque.
PS There is a also a reason why to try to have power as low as possible - all mechanical losses raise exponentially with RPM. It means that if you measure the power on wheels and not on the clutch you get rather different shape of the curve - a lot more is cut by losses at the top while nearly nothing is lost at the bottom.Last edited by Mirek; 27th February 2021 at 19:00.

i really cant understand why Neuvilles choice was this guy.Didnt know these problems from start?
There wasnt any other co driver without these language problem?
Thierry Neuville
@thierryneuville
The main target tomorrow is to bring home a double podium for @HMSGOfficial
. The stage is a different profile to those we’ve done so far but the car has been working well, I have been feeling comfortable and if our communication is working well, then we’ll go for it.

It's snowing quite much in Rovaniemi region at the moment. Tomorrow's stage is the closest to the city. #WRC #ArcticRallyFinland

I have to say I was expecting #Mikklesen to fight with #Lappi here after saying he wanted to ‘dominate’ every round he competes in BUT Lappi is showing some class here to keep doing it stage after stage and having closing on a 50’s lead in.

For me at the moment you wining about Neuville more then Neuville actually wining I would say it was way bigger problem in previous years with comments like "I got most of the rain / ice / snow / fog / sun" to search reasons, why he was "victim" but not the reason for slower times. This year I can watch it more like explanation when it is actually problem. Of course, there is question - why this problem is still there. I admit, that during next rally the same problem could be quite weird.

Depends, on what game they take part.
