in R5...

Just not next year?

Lappi's test of Fabia R5 in Finland with interview in Finnish. Can some of our Finnish members make a short summary if there is something interesting?

Nothing special, he said they found some better suspension setups. He also said he has three rallies before homeevent. Sardinia and poland, but does somebody know the third one?

Maybe Estonia?

[Mirek]

I guess Rally Bohemia. It's Škoda home event after all (some spectator stages are held directly in Mladá Boleslav).

Just went deeply through WRC2 results stage by stage. Aside of Ucci's Peugeot and Škodas it was a total disaster of R5 cars. They were neither fast nor reliable. Only seven out of fifteen finsihed without superally and only Škodas without technical problems (the radiator issue in the end didn't affect Ucci that much but I think that it was mainly thanks to his mechanical skills). There is still a lot of RRC cars (from which a large percentage had technical problems as well) but if those are banned for next year it might be a little boring again...

I wouldn't worry too much Mirek.. Sardinia is pretty much the roughest event of the year is it not?

And besides, everyone could just buy Skodas

The PSA issue is very strange... there is just no consistency but the cars can be fast and reliable sometimes.

If you followed WRC2 results so closely, could you tell me how it happened that such a good driver as Andreucci lost the rally to such a slow driver as Protasov?

[Mirek]

Protasov was faster fair and square. He was not slow at all. Only Lappi and Nasser would probably be ahead of him if they both didn't crash.
