That's 15km which means the 17' car is 1.3 sec faster pr/km in uphill if i didn't calculate that wrong?
End time is 13.51 for Lefebvre in the C3 and 14:09 for Mikkelsen in the Polo over 21.36km which is 0.84 sec pr/km
I expect January 9th will pass without even a comment on what actually was announced. As usual it's the false hope that is the story.
