Rallying has to be one of the most stressful types of automobile racing. You don't know the course, and the only way you know where to go is the guy next to you is telling you what the next 1-2 turns are like. Takes skill for sure
I have the Tamiya model of the 206. This car made me wish Peugeot still sold cars in the U.S.! Great tribute video! (I love those interior shots showing the driver's intense concentration and the physical effort required to drive a WRC to it's limits!)
Vive la France ! ;) et vive ces pilotes qui m'ont fait frémir quand j'étais gosse, ainsi que tous les gens qui sillonnent la terre chaque année pour réparer et préparer chaque voiture dans l'ombre des pilotes :)
Whaaaat? They just stopped to evolve the car at the begining of 2003 because the would focus on the 307, just marketing, during the entire 2003 the car proved to be competitive even being 2002 spec.
It wasn't that competitive... compared to 2002... ford and subaru brought completely new cars for 2003, plus the xsara had a gravel overhaul. The 307cc proved to be awful, i always thought they should of stuck with the 206... or at least the 307 hatch.. the cc was far too large
@@mattyg267 i agree the coupe cabriolet body of peugeot 307 is a mismatch for a 5 speed semi automatic, its long and not agile in tight corners and mismatch for the drivers themselves plus reliability issues compared to citroen xsara and c4 wrc
Because after 6 years of development and 5 seasons competing the 206 couldn't be developed any more, they needed a new car with citroen developing the xsara for all rallys. But yeah, the 307 was a huge let down.
@@mattyg267 the coupe cabriolet (cc) body style used in peugeot 307 wrc is really a let down, if they stick to a hatchback, they have a match with fellow psa brand, citroen xsara wrc and c4 wrc
