[WRC] Monza Rally 2020

[mknight]

In the long interview (in Norwegian https://open.spotify.com/episode/0cS...SjyNznBdzTtK5g ) with Østberg/Eriksen:

- says that the Michelin rain tire is not so good when it's too much water/dirt and the snow tire is only good on snow, while he says Pirelli snow tire is much more universal (Formaux seemed to do ok with wet tires?)
- similarly he claims that the Michelins are better when driving on "clean" tarmac stages

- he says he was sitting behind the wheel before starting stages watching alllive and making icenotes based on what was on the screen (not surprising)

- points out that WRC3 crews usually have a road position advantage (applies to gravel) and also that R5s outside of WRC2/3 have free tire limits (allocations) and hopes that it will be somehow unified for all R5s but doesn't think it will happen soon


- says the C3 R5 now needs specific setup and lots of parts changed for each rally and that there are still some events that they don't have good setup for. The updated (Rally2) one that is coming now should be more allround and easily adaptable to all rallies in addition it should have more power and downforce.
- he is working on an (fully) electric rally car (with Citroen) and might run it on some local event(s) in 2021.

- they talk how K. Rovanpera is using in-ear headphones for better intercom sound and Østberg says he used them too in DS3 WRC which was very noisy inside
