I think both Audi and Peugeot have got closer, but I don't think the 208 has made as big a step forward. At the start of the season the Peugeot was very rapid and I would say the closest, but since the mid-season break (and the test in Latvia) I think EKS are now second best.

COTA has potential if they can consider a change. I liked the joker and merge, plus the quick chicane, but they need to do something wo give some more overtaking chances and I never like those tight hairpins that were also at Hockenheim, Catalunya, Turkey etc. They bottleneck the field but there's only one line through them. The hairpins like T3 at Lydden and T1 at Estering give a bit more opportunity to vary the line and get a run.
