Hi, friends!
Did you know that Peugeot 307 WRC had only 4-gears gearbox? They had massive problems with it. Their leading driver Marcus Gronholm said it in front of the cameras and called a boss about the problem. He was furious...
I really don't know why they replaced super-successful 206 WRC with that big 307 car!? Probably because of the marketing reasons. They wanted to promote the new CC model in 2004.
That car had ultra powerful engine but that gearbox was total mess. On the compare videos yoiu could see how much quicker was the car to competition.
Anyway, Peugeot retired from WRC at the end of that 2005 season after fatal accident when Marko Martin's codriver died in an accident on Wales Rally GB in 2005.
Today's onboard rally video of the day belongs to Marcus Gronholm and his Peugeot on the roads of Rally Spain.
