Kenotec Ypres Rally 23-25 June 2016

Pitty for Tänak, but come on, no car available? That's a bad excuse in my opinion... I think it's either a financial issue, or they are not confident about their tyres...

I think more the second.. Money doesn't seem an issue if you see their program's in rallying

If You consider last year's Barum (I think) appearance, this is quite logical.

I think you mean Barum 2014. Tanak quite slow in this event:

Will Lefebvre and Bouffier have evo DS3s for Ypres?

Maybe in some rpm but I don't believe that it's possible at the peak, otherwise they would have peak power similar to WRC cars.

In spanish magazine, Vallejo said that Evo kit had performance problem.

De cara a Cantabria, esperabas contar con la evolución que había llevado a cabo Citroën y no ha sido así. ¿En qué consisten exactamente las nuevas especificaciones? ¿Ya las habéis probado en el coche?
No las pudimos probar porque es un joker que Citroën homologa. Es un paquete de evoluciones con varios componentes que se tienen que montar todos a la vez, es un todo o nada. No lo tenemos a día de hoy porque la dirección parece que no es del agrado de los pilotos y da algún que otro problema de rendimiento. Se trata de un motor eléctrico de dirección asistida e hidráulica y aunque todo lo demás si funciona, no puedes montarlo. El objetivo final de toda la evolución es enfriar el aire de admisión. Para eso se cambian los radiadores, intercooler… En este sentido, se ha dado un paso hacia adelante, pero hay que evitar los problemas con la dirección.

Hot and mostly dry, but with a chance of some (big) thunderstorms...

Looks more wet than dry on the forecast I've just watched, especially on Saturday..

The local weather forecaster say's it will be hot with a big chance on thunderstorms (especially thursday). The worst day of the week (rain, windy) was probably yesterday.

The DS3 from Lefebvre was driven by Duval in rallye de Wallonie without the evo kit. I don't know if the car has it now.
