I don't mean just last year from 17 development has been slow in 3 years they made it from a fast tarmac car to a middling gravel car and removed the entire tarmac performance in the process. It's hardly development is it. Aero changed little or none at all until last months of this year and will never be seen on stages engine wasn't developed as this was citroens strongest point Ogier not once can I remember said he was happy with the car. Always on the limit
