By all accounts Matti had expected Abarth to front up the experimental Triflux engine at some point in the second half of the 1987 season. When this didn't happen - and he saw the pace of Seppo Niittymaki in the Peugeot 205 T16 - he used contacts to switch brands. The Delta was sold to Jarmo Lahteenmaki, and Matti bought a T16 equipped with a Pikes Peak-spec engine. He was rather more successful in the Pug than the Lancia.

Es posible domar un tigre, nadie consiguió dominar a este monstruo, en esa época había verdaderos pilotos, había que tener mucho nivel para ser capaz de pisar el acelerador a fondo

Yes. And here Matti said, that there will be an influx of group B cars in Rallycross. All because of the fact that the series they were made for, didn't exist anymore.

Era todo un mérito conducir esta fiera, nadie tenía capacidad para dominarlo hasta el nivel que llegaba y los que tenían el valor y la habilidad para hacerlo pagaban muy caro cualquier error, gran piloto solo por ser capaz de pilotar el delta S4, tampoco volveremos a ver pilotos de su nivel

Matti said the car is much better to drive than the previous car. The car's weight and weight distribution is good. The power is about 500bhp, but later on about 530bhp. This season we see a lot of old Group B cars, Ford, Metro, Lancia, Peugeot. The race is getting more exciting than before. He believes there will be more audience coming to the Games.
