in my eyes this is very good asphalt driving.

Do we know what for?

Probably for the third round of the German Championship, the Sachsen Rallye.

[m-ast]

Are there more cars that are in the pipeline?

The Opel Corsa but it seem Opel(better say PSA) doesn't want it

in my eyes this is very good asphalt driving.

What else do you expect from him But to be fair, last year he drove in Italy which to him was a really good and valuable learning year. He had to drive with Peugeot against one of the toughest national fields in tarmac rallying and later on the season his times were getting really competive. Now he is driving in a lot better car, which he already knows very well so I'm expecting really good times from him on tarmac aswell.

Probably for the third round of the German Championship, the Sachsen Rallye.

That seems to be it, could also mean that he has a change to do WRC round there also?

This video was shot in Poland on the famous Kamionki stage. This stage was used in the Rally of Poland some 10 years ago and in hillclimbing events later.

In the interview at http://rajdy.autoklub.pl/news/rovanp...szczycie,84723 Rovanpera said he was preparing for Sachsen Rallye.

I'm going to repeat my question. Approval for what exactly?

Repeat mine...

New rules and an e-series are probably inevitable in the near future.

[Francis44]

Repeat mine...

Much better to invest instead in a Hybrid car then, the Outlander PHEV is doing well, I think even Jean Todt tried to say between the lines the next set of regulations will be based on some kind of hybrid powertrain, why go for full electric?

Actually quite large percentage of rally drivers don't have a clue what proper asphalt driving means and they try to compensate the lack of skills by aggressive and risky driving.
