[ERC] Circuit of Ireland 2014

Has anyone seen the broken gearbox casing of Breen in the evening service? He was very lucky to continue in my opinion...

Nice corner, 0:30 Lappi just wow

Any thoughts on Lappi's pace ?
Whats he been like before on tarmac ?

Do the high speeds and jumps favour him here as he's a Finn ?

From being out on the stages yesterday Lappi's car is just away more stable compared to Breens . You can see that the Skodas testing two years ago is showing the last time they were here - it just dosnt move on the road and he said that last night on the TV .Because he's a Finn means nothing it just he knows the car wont do something stupid when it lands and he has the confidence to drive it then .
As for Breen -either the car is at its Limit or he is , im not to sure which but the back of the car dosnt have the suspension travel like the Skoda and its lifting off the ground on the uneven surface all the time . I just cant see Craig closing the gap eventhough its only 12 seconds because he looks to be trying hard anyway and if he goes over that .... whats going to happen ??? . What has Lappi left - even if Craig does take a few seconds off him on the first stage i think he just has to up it on the next few . Maybe im wrong - punctures , etc who knows what can happen ..

little bit of topic, but what was the official reason of Andreuccis retirement during San remo?

Broken welds on radiator I think.

so all the time same problem... they are just trying to hide the problem finding other "official reasons"
radiator that stopped Breen now was 3kms old, they replaced it during nights service...

OK I´ll take my comment back ...

Seems to be big problem of 208 T16 ..

In Acores will be new evolution of Peugeot

I know Peugeot had problems with the cooling of the 208 - was the radiator they now use maybe a late change to the spec and so they didn't have a chance to test it properly?

I'm sure this shouldn't be such a problem on smooth tarmac roads, but they need a fix quickly.

Sam Moffet stopped, maybe mechanical or puncture
