I've seen many SS13 in my life.

But nearly never You can find starting number 13 in the start list. The Italians often skip even more numbers.

Interesting (and a bit silly tbh). Had no idea superstition was so prevalent in rallying.

a bit silly tbh

Haven't You had really bad day on 13th? Last one was very bad for me.

[Mirek]

Haven't You had a really bad day on other date in the calendar?

It is somewhat silly but people aren't always rational and various superstitions, rituals or talismans actually really help them - simply because they believe in them.

Yeah, but I realized it was 13th after that bad day, wasn't aware of it until then.

Autosport:
M-Sport had originally hoped to get its latest R5 version of the Fiesta ready for the start of the season, but it will now be unavailable until the middle of 2019.

"The FIA's homologation procedure takes longer and, being honest, we're committing more technical resource than ever to this new car," Wilson explained.

"I want this car to follow our own trend of cars coming out of the box ready to win.

"We wanted to look at the competition first, we wanted to see what the Volkswagen was looking like, we're putting a huge emphasis on this car within the company."

I understand they want the Fiesta to be a winner, but have they left it too late and can it be better than the VW-MS Polo ?

[Mirek]

We don't know if Polo is the benchmark, do we? It looks strong, no doubt about that, but nevertheless I'd say it's too early to call it the best when it actually haven't won anything important yet.
