I don't know who MMMotorsport are, but the road Fiesta does have a Ford badge on the front:

Biggest surprise for me-apart that old fox managed to win 1.day after "fiasco" on yesterday's super special-Andolfi leading 2WD class! Didn't we predict that Fiat 124 will have no chance against R2, not to mention R3.....obviousley a good work by Abarth team (and Andolfi's performance too).

[Mirek]

No, nobody ever predicted that R-GT would have no chance against R2 on asphalt. That's nonsense while such car would lack any reason for its own existence.

Any information why Scandola got 1 min penalty?

Few months ago your opinion was different (GT class thread, your post nb.869).

[Mirek]

You have a serious comprehension problem, sir.

IMHO Abarth 124 could be a good car for one-make cups but otherwise I don't expect anything ground braking from it.

No, I haven't claimed it to have no chance against R2 or any other similar bullshit.

PS I thought that the car would be a lot faster than it actually is. 23 seconds ahead of R2 after one hour of driving is for sure nothing to celebrate.

If I understand correctly he was at the beginning of 6th stage to early in the TC.

And who the hell are you to judge if Andolfi and the team are not satisfied to be in front of by fastest Italian young driver with R2?
