Well, lets wait and see on the Fiesta rear suspension upgrade. This has been the problem issue area for the Mk2 since the start. Hopefully they have found the root cause, and fixed it.

A good compilation of Mikkelsen at Rally Bohemia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h1-HuzdOt8
If his last event in the old car was Rally Estonia, that powerstage was a nice way to finish!

Interesting! it would be quite risky switching to the new one whilst fighting for a title.. even the Fabia S2000 and R5 didn’t win on their international debuts IIRC.
Might be safer to put some ‘extra’ drivers in the new car this year (Kopecky/Meeke in Spain would be good to see for example)

Question is what is more risky for Greece?
New car with likely not as good reliability and not optimized settings or old car with possibility for engine failure?
(If they identified the cause of the engine failures and it's not something that can't be fixed then old car is safer pick).
For Catalunya or Japan new car might be preferred as Mikkelsen likes the turn in on the new car on tarmac better. If they decide to go to NZ, new car might be noticably faster, but probably unlikely to be shipped all the way there in time.
