It's hard to see the roll because of the dust, but I think the car spun in the air 360, and landed on its wheels.

Lost it under braking, nothing too serious by the looks of it

It was heavy landing on the wheels, it can cause some back injuries very easily..

There is no damage to the body shell also, so nothing can be judged for the aero.

I think the guy is on the opposite side of the road and pretty safe, just the angle and distance of video makes him look closer.

The aero parts on the extremities are the most vunerable bits on the car and they look pretty much undamaged.

If all you read and see here is gravitating around Ford, isn't that provoking people, and aggravating other members? Isn't that trolling? Some of you have noticed that I'm writhing against Ford. Yes, I don't like them that much, but what I really don't like is the way people here support them. I don't troll because of fun of it, I troll against trolls.
And btw, this forum is trolling place by nature (not that there is anything wrong with that), because all members are somehow separated by the teams they support. So, if one start spamming the forum with pictures, videos, and prizing comments for one team, I say that's trolling against the rest of the members.

Rubbish. This is the WRC Testing thread and so people post pics and videos of whatever team is testing at the moment.

Trolling is the constant insulting and criticising of something (which you do re Ford) - NOT just the posting of info about something.

I don't think this sport is for you. You act like all the people who post Ford news or videos are Ford fans, some of them surely are, but many post them just because they're fans of this sport. Luckily, for most fans, rallying is not like many other sports, in which you have to support your team/driver to the death while bashing all the others at every chance you get. Have you noticed you're the only one who is annoyed by the quantity of Ford videos? Ever asked yourself why? Is it because we are all Ford fans, or maybe you know, because we don't feel the need to bash down teams we don't particulary support?

I don't know who is more annoying between NOT and you. At least NOT rely on facts some of the time he makes retarded claims but both of you sound like broken records.

The "thanks" on your post was a mistake and for some reason you can't remove them once you accidentally press it.

This is a thread for testing videos and photos meaning that who ever is testing will be posted... Get used to it.

The world champion is in ford meaning they generate quite a lot of interest just like VW last year. Not so strange really.

Since you weren't here last year you missed entirely the heavy bashing Msport took from everyone with more or less only Eddie and Estwrc defending them so don't come with ridiculous claims like "everyone support them" when you clearly have no idea.

I'm not a ford fan. I am happy for them because they have been having some tough years but managed to remain in the sport without manufacturer backing which is an incredible feat... I'm happy that their luck finally is turning!

My understanding of spanish is really basic but as far as I can understand they have only one external rebound adjustment. At what suspension sag this cars usually work?

No revelation about the set up they use, only a basic explanation on the 4 adjustment clicks their dampers have. Still it’s nice to see drivers sharing rally backstage activities on social networks.

Does anyone know when Toyota start tests in Corsica? EP drive car then!
During Rally Mexico Esapekka told a Japanese magazine that he would be part of pre Corsica testing. He also said he would get to do recce at all events in 2017 and would compete on all WRC rounds in 2018.
Japanese media asked Esapekka when in 2017 he would first compete in Yaris WRC. No specific answer given just said soemthing like , team will announce when ready

I find it strange they can't give a straight answer on this. Surely if it's not Portugal then there are some issues?

Yeah I know - I said 'they' meaning Toyota. Doesn't seem like a difficult question to answer really given it's almost April. Like a lot of their pre-season communications it makes people think there is an issue, when probably there isn't one at all.

testing at Corsica according to a Corsican member from French forum

Citroën is until Thursday
Ford up to and including Friday
Toyota from Sunday 26 to Thursday 30
Hyundai from Monday 27 to Friday 31
Skoda from 31 March to 2 April

There's nothing wrong with the question. Lappi was presented as a test driver, who will do some rallies. So my question stands, why is it so important to know, when he will compete more than a month before it could happen?

I understand that rally fanatics would gladly know every possible aspect, but don't be impatient.

You could apply the same rationale to any question asked on the forum. In the grand scheme of life this is all irrelevant and unimportant. But here we are - talking to each other via a rally forum.

I think it's a shame that Lappi can't talk about what he is doing this year still. If the plans are already in place, then why not make a positive news story out of it. If the plans are not in place - like I said, you have to wonder why. If Mikkelsen turns up in Portugal in the Yaris then for rally fans that would be important to know.

I think it is shame Toyota doesn´t let Lappi drive at least some regional events to keep him sharp. Skoda did the same mistake that half year before Fabia R5 was released and Lappi was just sitting home. At the end these forced pauses in career may slow down his progress
That's a good point, especially when Makinen's crew are running Fiestas for the two Japanese youngsters already.

Well, he's not "just sitting home", that's for sure. He's doing recce for all rallies, doing testing and actually drove a zero-car in one Finnish Championship event as well in February.

Corsica has been Tänak's achilles heel last two seasons, it will be interesting to see if and how much progress he has made...he was just nowhere in 2015 when Evans got 2nd place and i remember Wilson saying that it was because Evans has this neat and tidy driving style while Tänak is (was) more flamboyant and cuts too much which doesnt suit corsica...but he has changed his style a lot IMO, especially driving with Dmack's last year.

we will see in a couple of weeks :)

Do we think Evans will hand Tanak his ass on tarmac even despite being on the poor Dmack rubber? Or has Tanak improved enough on the black stuff to have the edge?
The Dmack asphalt tyres will still be a good bit behind in competitiveness you assume

Going just by the TDC test videos, Tanak looks pretty rapid. Of course the rally itself is a different matter, but I wouldnt be surprised if Tanak and Evans arent that far apart.

It´s not the car, it´s the driver... Swedish one is just slower ;)

Ucci dominates with luck of torque?

I hope it is really in the car and not in the driver. I saw Bergkvist during Barum15 and he was totally the fastest from all the 2WD guys and great to watch. Everybody must confirm.

You are right,but will not be the first driver to struggle at next category,while he was dominating in a smaller one.

It is possible for an exceptional talent to perform well on certain roads with a PSA R5 but do you seriously believe the Skoda and Ford do not have a stronger engine?

PSA R5 cars have higher peak power but they lack torque.

I was answering Rallypers point about lack of torque after he saw the videos from various r5 cars.
I don't think that some NM difference among ds3 vs fiesta vs fabia are visible from videos. We are talking about small differences.
We know that skoda has a very good torque curve,as we know that psa cars are among the most powerfull.

What hits me is the bigger noise of the PSA cars ! ;)

Knew that would come. :)
But my opinion is still lack of power for the Citroen. Combined possibly with Emil just finding the feeling on vid.

From my experience on stages the PSA cars are very slow from 1st gear corners (on asphalt huge and very clearly visible difference). It may not be only torque related but also due to seemingly very low level of ALS compared to Škoda.

And it was out from those slow corners the Citroen seemed not accelerate like the others. However Dimviii has a point, discussed many times. It´s hard to see this or that.
Just said it hit med and I saw what I saw.

of course is the driver.At least at asphalt we have seen that psa cars are quite fast.
Ucci didn't won a rally power related,but a rally with corner after corner,more related to torque.
Abbring was faster from Princen with fabia till he bined it,at a rally with many 1st gear accelerations.
If you have any other explanation,i will be happy to listen.
imho at asphalt,psa are not at disadvantage,there are plenty examples.
Maybe more difficult to setup? probably.
Not reliable probably.
Not fast as fabia/fiesta at gravel? probably.

If you look at for example Ypres 2015 where Princen and Abbring drove virtually the same car, Abbring was much faster (until he crashed)

So the better torque of Princen with fabia didn't helped him.

Enginewise PSA cars are not that bad. Sure ALS is not that aggressive like in Ford or Skoda, and you even can't choose any level of it. So it makes the difference in slow corners. Fabia has most torque but it's not easy to see in the videos as it has also longest gears so that Nm difference is "lost" with gearing on slower sections, of course it helps on high gears.
For tarmac PSA cars are not much worse. Reliability is biggest problem, not easy to set-up also and difficult to drive, but with good driver for sure very fast. They are closes to race cars from all R5 - very direct on steering, reacting fast, etc. Which of course is not an advantage on gravel, fast gravel especially.

really??? so on wet/dry tarmac you cant adjust?

'ALS not so aggressive' on PSA cars... how come they are so much louder popping and banging on the overrun ??

I personally don't hear ALS in DS3 sound but maybe I'm just deaf.
