In these days when snow is rare, I would like to see it outside the window and try it to know if it's slippery as last year if you know what I mean ;)

I´ve said it before. The Huyndai sounds very powerful. Engine sounds like Polo WRC. Let´s hope it fulfills everyones wishes.

[Barreis]

Until we see the times in real competition, we can't be sure how good new i20 is. But reality is that they'll be second in manu' standings...

[AL14]

Let´s hope it fulfills everyones wishes.

I don't think it will. It will be better than 2015 spec, but the fact is that if you want to beat VWs, you should not have equal car but a better one since VW has also best drivers other than best car.

However I didn´t specify general wishes, which I do now:
I do believe everyone hopes that Huyndai closes in to VW and makes the WRC a bit more exciting (that of course as you say also need the drivers to perform on top all season)

Do You have someone in mind? I know, but he'll need at least 1-2 years in WRC to reach top level. Just kidding.

As for Hyundai, hmm, I would put my bet to Paddon for a serious development, Neuville is quite unknown to me, but for sure don't expect much on Monte.

[Rally Power]

I fear Evans could be faster than Camilli with an R5 in Monte. But is ok, the most important thing for Camilli is the difference between his performances from now to November. If there will be enough improvement and more space for learning the next year he could be confirmed.

Yep, it's important to be tolerant over Camillis's performance on this season, but believing Evans on the R5 can go faster it's perhaps a bit too much...;)

I'm hoping he'll keep a cool head and give us a nice surprise on this Monte!

Tänak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_5sV7HJuC4

based on the previous Tänak video and on this it was very slippy or the dmack tyres dont very well because Neuville and Paddon seem much faster for me in kinda same conditions. Of course we dont know the grip levels exactly and they are testing on different locations.

What others think?

Neuville Paddon day 2
https://youtu.be/HqYZG6UbgFU

Hyundai looking good. Neuville whit some early entry underseer turning to snap oversteer on exit, but both car and drivers starting to look very good. Paddon should focus on learning in this Monte, but I wont be surprised if he forgets that for a moment or two and sets some very good stage times. Neuville looking more and more positive. It would be great to see him up from his slump. Hmmm... ��

the one from 2003, nahh that car was way more better looking, the only thing that bugged me back then was the fact the door was black and it ruined the desgin a bit. plus you need more red on the front bumper, but yeah it does remind it a bit.

Looks much better. The first set up actually looks like Neuvilles set up when he struggles with understeering. He some times ends up whit a tail happy, quick turn in car.

One thing dawned on me. Could these differences in set up be that they Hyundai are testing the car With, or with out afront roll bar?

A funny story comes to my mind :)

In 2010 we drove in the stage Saint Pierreville (that longest, I don't remember exactly). It was in time when spies were already on stage. As we had media accreditation we were allowed to enter the stage together with them. At one point we need to turn into a very sharp hairpin leading out of the stage to park our cars. One driver of ours made a too early turn in and got stuck with his car sitting on the bank. In several seconds this M-Sport Volvo came, I don't remember who was driving. They had to wait for a while before we managed to recover the stuck car. You know it was the world premiere of Fiesta S2000 and some stupid guys with Škoda flags and stickers everywhere blocked the road for M-Sport gravel crew. That's how hard we tried but nevertheless Mikko still won :-D

Why didn't they solve Evans' misfire problem? It seems to be lasting throughout the whole test. Didn't they find the problem (yet)?

[Mirek]

It may not be so easy.

[dupanton]

It may not be so easy.

Is it a structural problem or only with Evans' car?
So it could last throughout the entire rally? Then they better switch back to the old car...

[Mirek]

There were same problems with Grondal's car last weekend I think. I don't know anything more.

[Andre Oliveira]

I remember some issues in snow in the beggining of first Fiesta R5 too

[Mirek]

Wasn't that related to overheating coming from the radiator being filled by snow?

Yes yes :)

I have also notice a change in his driving. It may be also concerned with tyres, especially their wear. Nevertheless I was always a fan of a "racing line" rather than full side-ways. I know it's great for spectacle and everything but personally I rate higher being "efficient" than "effective" ;)

polo 2017 spec test

https://youtu.be/LIjvpYTuGw8

So far the available test footage has been supporting the supposition that the new cars would appear boring with circuit-like clean lines :(

[Francis44]

It will look ridiculous if they dont widen the rest of the bodyshell aswell, those wheel arches look big enough to have a dinner table on them.

[Rallyper]

I have a feeling those WRC17 cars are too fast and too hard to handle. Could end up in a fatal crash and new regulations in 18. Dont like the widen either. How will it track on second run in gravel and snow/ice events?

I believe that regulations says that some parts (like doors, bonnet and roof) must be in original places.

[AndyRAC]

How is that better for the sport? Do they have their heads in the sand? The current cars are faster than Gp B - so what? The sport lacks spectacle - these cars won't help bring more interest to the sport.

It seems like they've seen the success of WorldRX - and have panicked - and decided they must have cars similar to a WorldRX car.

I hope I'm wrong, but I fear they gone in the wrong direction with car regs - again!

@ Κielder

any problems? any comments?

[Kielder]

To me, it was more like the old Portugal. ;)
I didn't find any problem. The stage was quite long, with many surfaces. It's true that some parts had too many (big) stones and others were too soft (mainly the one below), but as you said it's quite similar to what they will find in Argentina and also Portugal in the North. I don't know how many runs Neuville & Gilsoul did (I wasn't there when they began to drive), but the test followed the usual timetable (percentage of runs and stops) and attitudes of these events, including marshalls asking us about not taking photos or being near the car while the mechanics were working on it.

cooling of the brakes perhaps, or just for aesthetic reasons.
Could be for the rear diff oil cooler as well as many other things.

Is it coincidence The Empire's PR machine stepped in with those tests right after the Argentine whine of it's arrogant #1 and his Co - yogurt statement to clean up all the mess they created and take the negatives away from the Dark Side.

You are right, it seems it's for cooling the brakes (source VW during tarmac tests)

[SubaruNorway]

Think they should give the teams testing restrictions for new cars soon, VW seems to have driven a whole season with the 2017 car already...

[Loose_Unit]

And no word whatsoever from Hyundai on theirs. I hope they do not get left behind...

There are restrictions except for Toyota and Citroen not officialy engaged

[Co-driven]

I think there are restrictions only regarding the current season and the current car. And new cars have free amount of testing days.

[Toyoda]

IMO good on VW, they seem to be the only team with there S together, although Citroen are close behind. Hyundai look like they have missed the boat again...

[EstWRC]

About Hyundai: The i20 R5 is expected to make its competitive debut in the second half of the season, when test crew Kevin Abbring and Seb Marshall will switch their attentions to running a fourth new car: next year's 2017-specification i20 WRC.

so in the end of summer they start testing the new i20. If i remember right M-sport will begin testing their new Fiesta in June or July.

You got details of where you heard this ? I"ve never read anything about their 2017 timescales...

Neuville crash in first run. Car into valley, need be pushed. Don't know the status of car.

Doesn't sound too bad - http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/124197/neuville-crashes-hyundai-during-test

More newsworthy when the driver is under pressure I guess.
