I thought Aussie motorsport fans are only interested in V8 Supercars, plus the Aussie F1 GP.

[WRC] News & rumours (part III)
Yes, we have 24 million people here so I believe about 10 million + are F1 and V8 fans

Al Attiyah will take an R5 for Poland because it suits better those roads and take back his RRC for the remaining rallys.
Not that fair in my opinion.

I don't have a problem with the swapping around of cars, but I am not sure allowing continued use of RRCs in WRC2 is really fair, when R5 was bought in as a 'budget' category and RRC's are virtually WRCars, costing what? Twice as much? Originally Posted by AL14

At least one more driver has swapped. Pontus in Sweden drove RRC.

I would like to see Nasser's ass kicked by other R5 drivers in first really fair competition in Poland.

I don't want to discuss if it's fair or not. Rules allow swapping cars or use of expensive WRC-light cars, therefore nobody can be forced not to do so.
What is more interesting for me is why shall the R5 be better for Poland than RRC. Any idea?Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

For sure it is in engine. Either R5 has longer gearbox (you know better) or just working better on fifth gear and in high speed. BUT it must be considerable difference if it is worth changing for Nasser. Why haven´t anybody of us noticed it until now?
pantealex: I think it is because DS3 RRC is expensive like hell
Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise
