Enough of Bos!
I smell a conspiracy theory in which the French were trying to ruin Subaru in the WRC. Then again, Subaru just plain suck. Hopefully this will earn them better results!
Here is the article. Not much of difference this will make, but who knows?
Also, I was laughing because many of YOU stated the failure of Bos' dampers.
Only took over a year to figure out the problem.Marco Simoncelli 1987-2011

well your right... i don't think subaru's bos damper being a problem was any secret... i'm sure it has to do a lot more with $$$ than it does with addressing the problem...
I love subaru ... but I am sad to see them still not in the same level as some of the other cars...
soon.. hopefully soon we'll see subaru turn around... seeing Chris' performance over the last couple of rally's really encourage me... but i wanna see subaru keeping pace.... i think finland is the best place to demonstrate a lot from the cars and drivers...

At least it looked like they were going in the right direction in Finland.
I did some calculation and day1 Petter was fastest of them 0,74s/km after fastest driver(Loeb), day2 Chris 0,49s/km after Loeb and on day3 Petter was fastest 0,37s/km adrift of Mikko and ending it with a stage win.

There's always something with mr. Hollywood, maybe he just likes the drama?
In anticipation of the next corner...

OK. Now BOS dampers. What next, Petter? Pirelli tyres? Windscreen? Steering wheel?

I wonder if the Boss dampers are main reason for Subaru's lack of pace. Last year in Finland Atkinson was hanging few seconds away from stage wins with the old car and old dampers. Now we should expect some better even with those old dampers because _the car_ was said to be completely out-dated - now it's dated and they are slower than ever.

Why cant they use the same product as Citroen/Ford? or even change to another supplier?
I assume its all to do with the legal side of things.
