Am I the only one who finds it a bit strange that they do their PET for Finland in Estonia, for Poland it was similar roads but for Finland especially the road surface is very different to Estonia. Or maybe they will test in Finland as well..?

[Tarmop]

Yes, Neuville said today, that they also have a test in Finland scheduled.

at rally germany they will loose them anyway in first chicane, so wrong data is collected :)

[lluisva555]

Side mirrors are important, we recently reviewed how different they are from one team to another, the tests they have done with them and their influence on the aerodynamic performance here

Yes I think so, on the website it says as much. Shame, live stream content was available to all last year direct from the Goodwood website.

Edit: just checked and it's showing live content of the hill climb, maybe the rally stage is only available to members.

[mknight]

It's obviously Østberg's fault that a certain driver got kicked for crashing too much. Just like it was Sainz's fault Duval got kicked.

Since spain last year Hyundai always struggles on tarmac on medium to fast long corners on smooth tarmac. On none of the testing vids so far is there any view of a similar corner. Sure I get that they have to test for vineyards as well, but that does not show if they improved the problematic area.

I know Ogier has driven a Fiesta chassis with the new aero, but does he have to keep using this ?

If it was seen as not working well could he go back to driving one of his previous cars without the aero ?

Eventually yes, but there are parts linked to the chassie.

[flykas]

Ogier with old aero package. Or its just because it is a test car? Wouldn't he want to test with the same exact car that he will be driving?

[Tarmop]

They can and have used the new aero on the same test car before. Maybe this time he will use another chassie, with the old aero.

[atsiotras79]

I saw the new aero on the service area, but he told that they will not use it in Turkey.

[atsiotras79]

Also interesting, if I understood it correct, is that it was said, that if the new aero will be used in one rally by all 3 cars, they cannot go back to the old one again.

On the rougher sections one problem was the rear diffuser (am I saying it correct? That black thing on the bottom of the bumper), Evans on day 2 broke 6-7 of them...

[dimviii]

nice info Tasos,keep us informed.

[AMSS]

I saw the new aero on the service area, but he told that they will not use it in Turkey.

Do you know if he used Sachs or Reiger dampers?

[atsiotras79]

If I remember correct at some point he said that he will stick with Sachs for the moment.

Don’t know though which one he used at the test.

Obviously they tried a lot of things in Ogier car cause at many occasions they zipped the tent during the 2 days, and there was warning by organizing team not to use cameras on the service area.

[Yugo_para_siempre]

At the photos of greek magazine 4T i believe that i saw an updated new-aero rear bumper. Different to that from Finland, Deutschland.

The sides were not painted, only pure carbon, and at the bottom of the sides they had cut them to the inside.

welcome Yugo!

some nice hints at this interview.
he will use Sachs at Turkey while ''we are not at the level i want'' and confirmed his talkings with citroen.

after many years, our country has been a testing ground for a World Rally Championship team. On the occasion of the harsh, as expected, Turkey's Rally, M-Sport decided to come to our country to try the Ford Fiesta for the next round of the WRC, with the team of Loris Meletopoulos being responsible for the organization. The British team kicked off the testing program on Monday with Elfyn Evans, and yesterday Fiesta's basketball team found the 5-time World Champion Sebastien Ogier. Yesterday he drove to Karoutes, and today he was in the known cd. Reggini. As we have learned, the M-Sport team is not just preparing for the Rally of Turkey, since it has been testing solutions for hard earth struggles in general. At one of the 5th World Champion's breaks, we had the opportunity to talk to him about today and his next day at the WRC in a conversation that proved to be extremely interesting!



Calm and cheerful, the French showed to enjoy the moments passing through our country, as well as the presence of several Greeks who came to enjoy it. However, Ogier is in our country to work in view of the difficult continuity of the last series of matches that will judge the Champion. "Tests are evolving very well! The conditions in Greece are very tough, but that's what we wanted. They are areas where we are not strong enough this year and that's why we have a lot of work to do in front of us. We have found some things that do not know if they will help us in Turkey and if we can use them, but we certainly have some solutions. "The Turkey Rally is unknown to everyone, something Ogier says will be a challenge for drivers. "This factor will be a challenge for all of us. It's a whole new fight, something we have not been accustomed to in recent years. It will be demanding for everyone. The notes will be very important, since it will have some very difficult and strange pieces. "But he and Julien Ingrassia are probably the most experienced combination in the institution, which is expected to be an asset to themselves. "Surely, experience will be an important element. In our days, most drivers use and work very hard with the video, watching specials from previous years. But this time this will not be the case. This will make it even harder for some. You have to rely on your sense and judgment during recognition. And I personally like this because this is the races! No, learn a video specialist and drive. As I said before, it will be a great challenge for all, and certainly experience will be a great help for us. "



One of the favorite themes of recent weeks is Fiesta's new aerodynamic aids, which as Seb told us will not use in Turkey! "No, in Turkey we will not use them. The rules require you to use the body to which they are placed. Besides, the race is slow, with tight turns and we do not think it will help us. "And the suspension? Will she choose Sachs or Reiger? "I work with Sachs, and although we are not where we want, I will also use it in Turkey." With four remaining games, Ogier remains in the title but from a different position. For the first time since 2013, the French must catch up and not protect it as he had been used to before. How strange is this for him? "It's a totally different situation and it's exciting! The only positive thing about this is that until recently we started a dirt race and knew from the outset that we would have a handicap opening the way for the rest. Something very difficult, which we no longer face. Of course, starting today from second place, it is not easy to win, since behind the back starts a series of drivers that are extremely fast and capable of the best. But the one you fight for the title is in front of you and has a greater drawback. So the feeling is good. On the other hand we know that we have no room for another bad result. We need to combine speed and credibility by the end of the institution. "

But what's more difficult? To catch Thierry or stay in front of Ott? And smiling, he told us: "The truth is that our three have a very nice fight. Everyone knows my opinion about Ott. Apart from a man I like very is also extremely fast. At absolute speed it might be faster than Thierry! However, Thierry is better off on points. Ott is 36 degrees behind and is hard to catch up. Of course, it is very fast and we have seen how many points it has accumulated in just two races. And we know it will continue at that pace. That's why I think it's open to all three of us. "With the tradition of being on the UK, Spain and Australia, is he optimistic despite the 23 points difference from Neuville? "Of course I am! There is no reason not to feel that way. It is challenging for me, I know it will not be easy, but I like it. It is not nice when you win easily, what I enjoy most is the victories that I must struggle hard to conquer. It will be a tough fight until the end of the year and I will give my best. "If he conquers and conquers it will be more important than last year when he conquered him in the first with a private team? "We are still a private team", he took care of us. "Of course, we have more support than Ford, but it remains difficult for us. I think if we do that it will be important again. For me, those titles I have conquered are beautiful and distinct. Sure, last year was special, but let us not think about it yet. We have work and a road ahead of us. "



However, in addition to today, Sebastien Ogier needs to think the next day, since it is known that his contract with M-Sport ends at the end of the year. The rumors around his name are many, while the latter want him to stop at the end of next year. He recently stated that he wants a last good contract, which was misinterpreted by many. "That's what I said! That I want a last contract, and some have translated it as last year. It could be a last contract, but lasting ten years! ", He told us laughing. "The truth is that I think the next day and we're starting to talk to the other teams. And yes, Citroen is one of them. For me, the most important of all is to have the best package available to me, which will allow me to win. We are currently struggling with M-Sport, but we are back in some areas. We need to improve and be confident that we will continue in this direction. But it's not easy! So do all the teams. We, and the others, are evolving. The truth is that I have not decided at the moment what to do. "The rumors say Citroen is pushing him to agree and Ogier does not deny it:" We are in touch and are trying very hard to attract me. It is important for them to find a leader in their team, since they have been difficult in recent years and do not want to continue to have this image. "Does he think he could fight at Hyundai? And what exactly did they say with Tommi Makinen in the media zone of the Rally Germany laughing? "Why not go to Hyundai?" Was his first reaction! Because he would not like Thierry, we fill in to get the answer: "This is not my problem," he said with a smile and continued: "On the other hand, if we wanted to talk to Tommi about our possible cooperation, sure we would not do it in front of the journalists and you would not know it ... "

But in September, Sebastien will not only compete in Turkey, but also in DTM with the Mercedes team! Is it just a participation or something more? "Now, there is nothing hiding behind. It was an opportunity presented by those who do not often appear in your career. It's a nice car and a highly competitive Championship. When Gerard Berger suggested it to me, I thought it a little knowing that it would be difficult. But I ended up losing nothing but winning. "Being a family man at the age of 35, he knows he has to do long-term plans as well. "My future will definitely include motorsport. But what I want is to calm down. Do not have so many days in a sport like today at the WRC. I am a family man, I want to see my child grow up and be the best father for it. And when you're away from home, it's hard to do that. Today, every time I leave the house becomes even more difficult. That's why I will have a future in motorsport, which will be more ... calm than today. "

Nice to meet you all mate.

Thank you very much for the very good translation of Seb's interview.

It was an interesting and revealing interview so it is very nice that all the other, not greek members, are able to read it now.

After that test i miss WRC even more... Please bring Rally Acropolis back to WRC.

Weather in Wales has been poor since August after 3 months of hot and dry Summer.

It's gone into real Autumn weather already and no sign of it improving. Rally GB could be more like the traditional event of wet and windy.

Weather in Wales has been poor since August after 3 months of hot and dry Summer.

It's gone into real Autumn weather already and no sign of it improving. Rally GB could be more like the traditional event of wet and windy.

You should try and read the forecast Eddie. It's looking like dry and bright spells when the rally is on.

[Timmy]

Any forecast 2 weeks into the future is not to be taken seriously.

Any forecast 2 weeks into the future is not to be taken seriously.

They aren't saying it will be precisely 15 degrees with a light shower between 1:00 and 1:30, Timmy... more that dry, fine weather will prevail... which is the opposite of Eddie's 'poor weather continuing'.

[Timmy]

I am not saying that the forecast will be off by a degree or two. I'm saying that you're better off tossing a coin to predict the weather if you're looking so far into the future.

Here's why:

After 3 days it is normally very difficult to handle all variables that affect weather in a proper way. You can check in a spaghetti map, the forecast from different weather models. This will indicate how far these forecasts are from each other. The further they are the "unforecastable" is the weather. Check these images: the first one a prediction for today and the second one the prediction for 5 days in advance
https://www.upload.ee/image/8970818/1-day.gif
https://www.upload.ee/image/8970822/5-day.gif

Now Imagine what it would look like 13 days in advance.

Feel free to play around with the model here:

What are you on about? I quoted your original post which said "Weather in Wales has been poor since August after 3 months of hot and dry Summer.

It's gone into real Autumn weather already and no sign of it improving. Rally GB could be more like the traditional event of wet and windy"

I pulled you up because the forecast for when the rally is on says it will be bright, sunny spells, not the poor weather you claim. And regarding the 'no signs of improving' bit... the weather has been relatively dry and bright since you said there was no signs of it improving.

Were you just making something up to say, or did you you actually read a forecast?

You said there was no signs of the weather improving. The weather since then has been pretty much spot on (apart from the odd day it two). In fact, it’s 18 degrees this afternoon in the north east. You were wrong!!
However, it may rain during the rally. That’s separate from what you said initially.

The NE isnt Wales.

A great improvement hasnt really happened there and it was been wet in the run up so far this week. And the forecast for the rally which you were on about is far from dry and sunny.

My guesswork based on the weather since August has proved spot-on.

Norm whether it's tasteless to write or have it here is a fair point. But it has nothing to do with nationality, hence why I wonder why that is a topic at all. I do not know of any other rally driver involved in something like that. Certainly not from almost the same generation.

[Norm75]

I didn't mention nationality, not an issue for me. More the fact that it was a tasteless comment about someone that can not have the right to reply. Many aircraft fatalities involving people from the world of Motorsport. Google it, you may then be less inclined to single any individual out.

Car issues probably that needed to be solved with overdriving probably...

No, that was Derek Brannigan. Not sure if you know, but Meeke and Nagle have officially split.
