I suspect it was useful for MSport engineers to get the insight of someone who had just driven Polo and Fabia Evo, and interesting for us to hear in depth and honest opinions too.

Will be interesting to see how Camilli goes in the C3 in Spain having been rather disappointing in the Fiesta in Finland & Germany.

It looks more and more that the disasterous performance in Estonia and Finland was about improper/not enough preparations for the two events. The damage was done however.

Well, they didn`t but those who wanted to buy one at the given moment, probably opted for a proven car...

I dont think anyone would buy any brand new, just released, R5 if they wanted a totally proven car.
Look at the latest such as the i20 R5, C3 R5 & Polo R5 - which of them was a proven winner out of the box ?
Most need a while to shakedown all the faults and gremlins and to find the best set-ups...#M-SPORTER

Fabia EVO was fast and reliable straight out of box...
Because it´s looks very much same than before you tend to forget that has different homologation numbers than before.
Pretty sure that because of Fiesta Mk2 problems, others have gained some orders."quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

It's a fact some did and it's a fact some others postponed the order for later. Originally Posted by Fast Eddie WRC
