No. We have learned that almost all R5 cars are fast and it is mainly about driver (and setup).

So after 4 years in the C3 and much (gravel) development done by him Ostberg is no longer a good driver and cant set up a car ?

Come on now, everyone knows it's the French tarmac drivers who are to blame!

some quotes from Ostberg:

"I'm scared to death to be honest. I have never been this scared to drive before. I have nothing to say, I do my absolute best, but something is very, very strange."
"I think 'a bit uncomfortable' is maybe not the right thing. I don't know what to do. I'm just driving with what I have. We agree in the car that rally is normally fun, so we try and have a fun. We also agree that something is not right."
"We have to do something, so we'll have to search a bit and discuss with the team what we can do. We try to have fun and the stages are beautiful, would be nice to drive how I want, but every corner I feel I cannot drive properly so I'm losing a lot of time in places."

"We did some significant changes in service and it seems to work a lot better now, I made the mistake of putting hard tyres on the car, with the rain it didn't help so hopefully the stages don't have much rain on and we can push."

"It feels not clean and effective! I feel like I'm lacking a lot of power, I felt really low on power in there. I did some cuts, so maybe I took some bushes!"
"It's bad to be honest, I don't have any power so I guess that's it."
"I have an idea of what is going on, there is nothing we can do. I have been in this situation before, I am really on the limit and enjoying it."
"It was not so good but at least we have power again which is very nice and not shocking, but very difficult to drive yesterday, so I need to get used to power again!"
"The grip is not there and it is difficult because we are doing a lot of cleaning. However, I feel I have power in the car again. We are starting in front but it is a penalty for our speed yesterday."
"We have the power to do it but now we don't have the brakes to do it. The brake problem is back, we tried to solve it but we couldn't. It's quite slippy, so for the first pass on Colin's the winter is better, but we'll see."

"We've had an engine issue all day, we have two issues. One is fixed, but the response of the engine is not there as I need the angle on the car and need to floor the power, but it creates a lot of understeer so it's hard to get the rhythm."

bad setup initially but then an engine issue, then brake issues on the C3, add a bad road position because of the issues so I don't think we learned anything actually

we already knew fast rallies are a strength of the Polo

Otherwise good rally for Solberg, the kind of performance you expect of him if he wants to be considered for a Rally1 drive.

Hopefully the anti cut blocks for this event is not the new standard, went to pick one up and had to put my hand under it, must be close to 20kg. One day we will have a serious accident because of them.

Im watching SVT's coverge now and Jonas Kruse says that the weight of them are 35-40 Kg.

Doubt they were that heavy as i could lift it with one hand, or was there two types maybe. But way to heavy, you could rip the whole suspension off on them

Well if they were made out of paper they wouldn't serve the purpuse...
