Yeah, the first day of racing was a bit more open. Once it started raining, Johan looked to have an edge. Unfortunate end to the weekend for Block in the semis, he looked very competitive in the heats. As said, Solberg never seemed to hit full stride.

The PSRXVW cars both look so planted. Even in the wet neither seemed to break away (virtually every Supercar was sliding round the last corner) and the cars seemed to behave differently to the other Supercars when they did go sideways: a consequence of having all the weight up front perhaps? Or maybe the suspension setup is that much better.

Agreed that the ERX races were very messy at times, there was a hell of a lot of paint traded!

Not directly related to the World Championship, but engine configuration (and the lack of pictures) was a subject discussed earlier in this thread. The Xite Racing mechanics were OK with me taking a shot of the Fiesta engine bay at Lydden last month:



Obviously it's not the latest car, but it is a relatively recently built OMSE Fiesta. I was surprised by just how far they have managed to push the engine back in the car.
