You forgot to tell that 25 000 cars of the same family must also have been produced.

You are right, somehow I mixed that with a digit lower number. Than it might really be a problem to have 25000 cars produced for 1st January.

Really? I think production starts end of August so they have about 17 weeks to do that.

[Mirek]

The production will be probably quite slow at the start, only located in Mladá Boleslav and not in Russia, China and India where Fabia is also produced (I believe).

The homologation of 208 was postponed several times unofficially because of overheating issues. Now the car have four starts and two retirements because of overheating. That looks serious.

Ucci retired due to overheating?

[Filip]

Yes, at least it says that in the Italian Rally news thread.

Let's see if Citroen guys managed to solve the overhating problem.

also at 1st stage was raining and Ucci was on Pirellis.

"But the news of the day is that of the retirement of Paolo Andreucci and Anna Andreussi, stopped by a problem with the engine of his new Peugeot 208 Turbo 16 R5 A strong loss in the cooling system of the car, breaking. Than a sleeve, he advised the Tuscan retreat, after 55 consecutive arrivals. "
