    The breather tank is full of oil and fuel mixed.
    The joys of using an ethanol based fuel.

    Pluto wrote here before Monte that Škoda sent a bulletin to its teams asking them to apply for a preventive engine rebuild after Monte Carlo. Normally the engines shall last much longer than just one event.

    Not only regarding the fuel issues in Monte I wrote an article, but it is only in czech. I am not sure if google translator will help, but you can find it here - http://www.autosport.cz/clanek.php?cl=21968

    But in fact, it was making big problems to all R5 cars. And in the final it was really anti-ecological...

    I want to read next year's report to see if WRC improves. So far, FIA ERC is WAY more "sustainable" than WRC. (Lots of reasons, oc.. but its interesting anyway)

    (Theres a link on the article to the actual report)
