@hristoitchov I agree with you. Duval made good results in 2003 with the Ford Focus, and then went to Citroen for the 2004 season, but infortunatelly things didn´t go very well to him. But what Citroen did was "kill him for WRC" ( perhaps they put their expectations too high, not giving him time to adjust, hoping that he would easily replace a much experienced Sainz in Citroen ). Had Latvala been Loeb's team mate in 2004 and I'm pretty sure that we never heard of him again !
@TifosiAlonso It's normal to make mistakes early on, look at McRae, he kept crashing for years before becoming more consistent without sacrificing his speed. Same with Latvala these days, he is finally coming out of his crashing period and is delivering. Can you believe it was his 10th rally GB? Apparently it takes a lot of years to reach the top level, that's why expectations for Kimi to succeed were unrealistic. Duval deserves to be in WRC IMO.
@RALLPORT the technology of the new cars let you drive them faster, with the suspension, brakes, weight distribution, chassis, all of that stuff, make a 300bhp car drive like a bullet, just fast. Group B where the most powered car, but their problem was to control all of that power. And like Pirelli said, Power is nothing without control. But i have to say that group B still one of the best classic machine to watch.
@francisco67pereira Sorry, I wrote that Duval went to Citroen in 2004, but it was in 2005 that he join the team.

Well, Duval didnt live up my expectations, he was a big talent but made some silly mistakes. Great driver though
