    Appreciated Brother, but it's a mutual contribution.

    Franky - suggested the idea.
    OldF - the core phrase.
    Me - just added to it.

    VW has so far dominated WRC with a car right out of the box.

    That should send a signal to other manufacturers that this task is possible also for them, if done the right way.

    But congratulations to VW motorsport for a job well done !

    I agree Sulland! Great example from Vw. Hope to see something from Japanese manufactures!

    It's also Ogier, because all the rest I'd as usual behind Loeb. Hope it's not another 5 boring years with another Sebastian! Great drive from him anyway!!!

    Quite. Just saw the results from Rally Sweden just then, I am quite stunned.

    Latvala said on the radio during Sweden that he had to adopt his driving style to get more out of the Polo. He said it was set up to be driven more like a front wheel drive car, compared to the ones he has been driving in the past.

    FWD cars are effective, and the Polo certainly looks effective, so he might have a point!

    With regards to Latvalas comments on the Polo feeling more like a FWD car to drive compared to the Ford.
    What could be the reason for that, is there a tech reason?
