Hardly surprising the back stepped out a lot having seen some of the footage Ive seen on YT! Took cuts that a Rally2 would have bounced around on.

I have never told this. And I think Patrick is the same. Point of my sentence was that Patrick is able to be fast with almost every car he is driving.

I know. Added exclamartion mark, to avoid any confution.

Always hard to try to be funny being a non native speaker.

Exactly. Plus the back ends of everything were stepping out on those muddy corners, even the fwd cars !

Rear suspension stroke is relatively short plus standard dampers are bottoming out quite easily, so that's the reason

He knows a thing or 2 about muddy cuts

So that comment is not only about those corners, but also about dry corners where you just stay on the road (yes, they exist in Belgium

).

I think Bartek is closer to the truth

What engine are we guessing Renault will use on their Rally3 Clio?

The 1,3 Rally4 engine, or do they have a 1,6 engine they can use?

“ DON’T TELL MALCOLM [WILSON] BUT I WAS TRYING MY HARDEST TO TALK HIM OUT OF A RALLY2 PROGRAM BECAUSE I THINK YOU CAN SPEND THE SAME MONEY AND PROBABLY GET DOUBLE THE EVENTS IN A RALLY3 CAR.”

That’s an interesting reference point - around half the cost to run a Rally3 car to a Rally2, according to Rich Millener

Anyone that dare to speculate, or knows something:

- What engine are we guessing Renault will use on their Rally3 Clio?
The 1,3 Rally4 engine, or do they have a 1,6 engine they can use?
