I don't understand why it isn't possible to be spectacular and stay on the road, but maybe I don't watch enough WRC nowadays.

Fast but not consistent. He's worked on the consistency though.

Well, he was fast AND consistent in the yellow whale during 2006 season :

It is possible.... but you won't be quick enough to score good points in the WRC while driving like this. Maybe you can win at ERC level and still make the speccies cheer, but I think WRC is just too competitive to allow for this sort of flamboyance.

Also the Ford looks to be rather fragile, so maybe not the best car to be in if you're hitting big rocks and bouncing through ditches.....

You just seemed to underline the fact Gigi had to chose between being fast or being consistent, not both...

I don't think Gigi showed the same speed he did in the Mitsubishi. I seem to remember him leading Turkey for a little while?

Ye... the stages were totally full of mud, and the Pirelli tyres worked very fine there ... the total highlight for me was in Sweden 2005 where his performance in day 1 was defined "paranormal" !

But in both rallies the car had serious mechanical problems (I remember the turbo in Turkey), so he scored late positions after losing many minutes :\

I remember that Isao Torii used to apologize in the japanese style in front of Gigi lol

Also good tarmac performances in Germany (great battle with Kresta) and Spain but he crashed right after an SS win due to a wrong note in the end ^^

Perhaps Gigi will be one of those guys who when we look back on his career we will wonder what he could have done with a faster and more reliable car in his earlier days.

Only time will tell.
