The fender kickers look like prototypes used for testing. I'm sure the final version if implemented would be better. Regardless it's nice to see Citroen trying....

[racerx1979]

Funny thing is I was told by a Toyota engineer that the fender aero worked in conjunction with the mirror on the Toyota. The mirror on the Citroen is too far back...

Different car, different body, different aero properties.
The C3 appears to have sprouted some form of aero wings mounted above the front wheel arch, half way along and at the top of the front wing. This looks like it pushes the channel of air above and over the mirrors.

M-Sport testing at private track Ford Lommel Proving Ground in Belgium


Strange. Is there something special about the track?

MSport have big tarmac track just next to their HQ that afaik got extended recently, so why go to Belgium?

Also cause it is far from team base it will prbly count as test days. I dunno if test days now count for last season (so they have some free days to spend) or new season. If it's new season it's even more strange they spend them like this.

[Andre Oliveira]

It was where Ford test the durability of cars and so on.

According to FIA 2019 Sporting Regulations, tests are limited to a maximum of 42 days in any calendar year. So they probably had one or more to spend, before Dec 31st

Toyota might not have told Lappi about the improvements, that were going to be put in the yaris after he leaves the team?

[doubled1978]

Short Lappi test interview: https://youtu.be/9kcWjyD3-rY

Interesting line about the transmission being much better......

[mknight]

If you recall Lappi complained that Yaris stalls under breaking since Finland and that the team are not doing anything about it.

[Tarmop]

That issue with Yaris was strange...like Mads had in the fiesta 2016 spec., only he had it. Not saying, it wasn`t there, but maybe something to do with driving style?

[AnttiL]

Tänak also had a stall in Finland and Latvala in Sardegna. Also, not like Lappi would drive the whole season with one single chassis, the fault followed him to each car.

[Revman]

Interesting line about the transmission being much better......

"Much better" than the Manufacturers Champion car? Sounds like sour grapes in addition to the rumbling about being the #3.

[wrc2017]

Otsberg complained about that in Citroen.

[br21]

"transmission" it's not only how gearbox is downshifting, but also diffs for example...

[Revman]

and Ogiers thoughts https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/140828/ogier-citroen-must-find-consistency-in-2019

I know references to F1 piss Rally fans off, but I can't help but think that this move is for similar reasons as Schumacher's move to Ferrari in 1996. Crap car. If Ogier wins, it is because of him, and he is a hero. If Ogier loses, it was because of a crap car. Same motivation IMO as Schumacher back then. A new challenge with very little downside.

[doubled1978]

"Much better" than the Manufacturers Champion car? Sounds like sour grapes in addition to the rumbling about being the #3.

You could be right, or it could be that the transmission in the Citroen is better than the Toyota.....to assume that the Toyota is better in every department because it was the best overall is odd....
I found his comment interesting, and maybe a little surprising, but it doesn't mean that it isn't true.

[liposh]

It could be just the transmission in Citroen is much better than transmission in Citroen one month ago. Nobody said Lappi is comparing anything to Toyota.

[Norm75]

I'm quite sure he was answering a question asking how he feels at Citroen compared to Toyota, so I think he was comparing the Citroens transmission directly with Toyota's.

Ogier chose to leave M-Sport as he thought Citroen will give him a better chance of another title.

He will deserve praise if he wins again. But if the C3 doesnt allow him to be competitive I doubt he will get anyone's sympathy.

How can second level drivers get P2 in Sweden and Finland on a crap car? Easy, the car they drive isn’t crap at all. The C3 has been steadily improving since late 2017 and it can now win at any surface with a top driver. Ogier may take a bit to adjust it to his driving style (like in the Fiesta) but he’ll be competitive since the first outing, and hopefully so will Lappi.

The car isn't crap, it just isn't consistent. Ogier referenced it himself in the recent interview, some surfaces its very good, others it isn't. I'm sure over the course of the season they will make better in the places it is not at its best. I witnessed it myself on WRGB, on day 2 it looked very good, on day 3 it looked awful.

Evans is back working at the family business until the season starts. I suspect he and Tidemand will get one day or half a day very soon.

Evans is back working at the family business until the season starts. I suspect he and Tidemand will get one day or half a day very soon.

Re Evans, it sounds like he's lost his own Red Bull sponsorship and has to earn a wage at dads Ford dealership. If so, and if he always gets so little testing time, this will have to be taken into account in his performance.

[er88]

If so l, and if he always gets so little testing time, this will have to be taken into account in his performance.


It won't be taken into account by Malcolm. This is it for Evans, either step up and deliver properly or he's done for good. This will be his 5th full season in the top class and he's shown very little in terms of top line speed or even consitency while on the same package as other drivers. I still think he's very fortunate to have a drive this year over someone like Breen who has never done a full season, or Paddon who has shown more pace and won an event in equal conditions as other drivers.

So how many hours he works at his dad's business, or if he gets a few days less testing that other drivers, won't really be taken into account at all in the grand scheme of things. It's time for him to deliver

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I agree that Evans needs to deliver in 2019, its his last chance.

But if there are car updates coming and he doesnt get the chance to test fully then Suninen may be getting an advantage.

BTW Paddon was never coming here due to his big Hyundai links in NZ and Breen ended 2018 very poorly Wilson wasnt going to risk him over Evans.

Will they actually gain anything useful from running a tarmac set-up on gravel?

Will they actually gain anything useful from running a tarmac set-up on gravel?

Not that I know for sure, but one would imagine they don't generate costs just for fun.

No, just a supporter. I was replying to a Brit so 'here' meant the UK.

Gravel, this is snow...?
I think It's genius, much easier getting confidence on snow with these tyres here than in MC with less room for a mistake. I think they only had slush on the last test in MC also?

Maybe their weather forecaster told them it could be a very snowy Monte...

See Tanak's twitter. It's clearly snow, on gravel, not tarmac, hence my intrigue.

Not sure if I've ever heard of a test on gravel stages, that are covered in snow, in a car that is in tarmac spec... have you?

[Tarmop]

They are first of all covered with ice, on top of which is snow. Not the best simulation but there are stages with only ice or/ and snow in Monte.

Sounds like Sweden in a tarmac spec car, doesn't it?

To my knowledge Sweden has quite a few jumps compared to Monte. But yes, Snow in Finland, Sweden and France are all the same.

You're correct, Sweden does have (a lot) more jumps than the Monte.

Even on bone dry tarmac the car seems to be understeering ��. Looks like they've done a total flip with the setup from snap oversteer to plain understeer. Hopefully the car behaves differently on gravel now, it needs to.

Small interview with Loeb concerning the car's behaviour. I tried to make a translation, not too easy to translate the more rally-technical talk.



This weekend in the "Hautes-Alpes", preparing for Monte Carlo, Loeb has finally taken the wheel of his new car, the Hyundai i20 WRC.


After a test on a base mostly covered by snow on saturday, the driver from Alsace had two perfectly dry testing bases this sunday, one very bumpy and short in the morning, one more wide and fast in the afternoon.


Little before 16 O'Clock and when he ended his first pass of the afternoon, the new Hyundai driver took the time to answer our questions. In this interview, Sébastien Loeb explains mostly the differences in behaviour of his new car compared to the C3 WRC, a very interesting comparison as the season is at it's starting point.


Bye bye Citroën, hello Hyundai, what's your first feeling of this changement?
It's interesting to see something different, it's a new experience, a new car and a new WRC, I haven't done this before, so it's interesting. I was used to a certain style of car, a certain style of driving and it has to be done. It's going fairly well, the team is cool, the atmosphere is relaxed.


How will the season start for you?
The first two rallies will be complicated. Monte Carlo isn't the easiest rally, and this year it's almost completely new for me. Apart from the Turini (6kms), I don't have anything in my notes. On a new rally, it's already not easy, but with a completely new car, it's even more difficult. And in Sweden, on a rally where I haven't driven since 6 years, it won't be easy either. The start of the season isn't the easiest, but we'll see.


What can you tell about this Hyundai i20 WRC, notably in comparison to the Citroën C3 WRC?
The car is mostly healthy, a bit different to what I was used to, a bit less "racing" too, a bit more progressive, all in all nice to drive and quite playful. In general the car's behaviour is similar enough, we have to adapt to small changes, like the reactivity of the steering for example.

I've changed 2-3 things compared to what I had as basic set-up. For me the car was oversteering, so I tried to calm it, a bit different to what the other drivers do.

The Citroën's have had the tendency to understeer, but with the back end well in place, and it was efficient. I would have liked the car (C3) to not understeer as much, and to destabilize the back a bit, but we didn't have any solutions for it, we were a bit at the limit, but with this car, it's more to my liking.


What are your impressions on these two bases?
On the first base this morning, it was good, but on the second, I started to have some understeering. We have to find the right compromise, but I won't make any huge changes.

This second base is quite atypical with very large and fast roads, more "circuit" type and we are tending to load the front too much, to alternate the understeering and oversteering, it's probably something we have to work on with the car.

I would say that on the fast in this afternoon, I liked the Citroën more, but on the more bumpy and narrow base this morning, I don't know.

These tests aren't too short and not too long either. We'll see, we will try to adapt. At the end of the morning we defined a good set-up, and we'll try some different things on this base, to have a good set-up to start with.


Do you think you'll play for the victory at Monte Carlo?
It's too difficult to say, but I hope so, for sure. I know I can go fast, but in comparison to what I could do with the Citroën, and knowing the stages are new for me, it doesn't look easy. I will for sure try to get the rhythm and the feeling back as fast as possible.


We'll see you in Sweden this year, but not in Mexico, where you were so fast last year. Why?
Monte Carlo was my own choice, even while the crew thought it wouldn't be possible with Dakar. For Sweden, they simply asked me and I accepted it, despite my long absence there. I liked to be in Mexico, but Dani will be in the third car there, and I'll be driving in Corsica. Even while Dani wanted to be there too. We have to share the car.

[EstWRC]

thanks a lot Tommeke!

[er88]

Thanks! His comments about the Citroen maybe explain why they keep experimenting with the angle and position of the rear wing in testing this winter?

Immediately he sees the same issues Hyundai had since they changed the front aero in Spain 2017.
- good on bumpy slow/medium speed (but still not sure if he like it better than Citroen?!), looking on the vids it is almost like watching Neuville with lots of throwing the car around, very unlike super-smooth Loeb
- understeer on "circuit" type which while not so typical in Monte are now becoming standard in Corsica with new surface and are standard on many Germany stages in addition to Spain, Note that the "circuit" section had conditions that were still far from 25 degC+ dry smooth tarmac with high grip

Anyway for Monte it should not matter much. If the conditions are mixed then experience, reading the road and tire choice will imo make him fight in top 3 no matter what. Quite some time left until Corsica.

Seeing this photo I saw that they have changed the additional lights system, it has 5 headlights this system, FIA regulations said the number of headlights should be even as I remember, so are not those headlights not legal for the event?

[Tarmop]

Depends on the light construction probably. In many countries it`s the same with roadcars, additional lights have to come in pairs, so some manufacturers are now producing ledbars with two seperate lights.

I don't know the WRC regulations but since the new light sources were allowed (first Xenon discharge lamps and later LEDs) it makes sense to limit the light flux instead of the number of sources.

I see it only takes 1,5 month to forget. Feel free to look back a few pages here to confirm, but reality was:
1. Crash picture was posted
2. Multiple people here and on twitter started million teories how the picture was fake
3. Lots of talk whether it's fake or not
4. Toyota (and Meeke) were silent with Tommi even making some off-hand comment that it can be photoshop
5. 3-4 days later Makinen confirmed the crash happened.

So the interesting part was that Toyota seemingly tried to hide it (understandable since they just hired a driver that got fired for crashing) and how fanboys immediately tried to claim it was fake.

[KiwiWRCfan]

Did Andreas's Friday test go ahead as planned ?
Have not seen anything to confirm if "worked through the night to rebuild the i20 Coupe WRC for Andreas Mikkelsen's test on Friday" was completed in time

Either way it was a perceived as a big deal, as it generated a lot of interest for a mere testing crash that is a par for the course. Seeing as people felt the need to claim it was fake or never happened, and generated big interest from not just fanboys, but people amused by it/having a laugh over it.

Meeke:
I had 3 great days testing in Finland last week for Rally Sweden. I came away with a really good feeling, but I'm keeping in mind that the conditions on the rally could be very different. Hopefully we'll have nice, consistent conditions and a rally everyone can enjoy #KM5 https://t.co/rX06ekCQen

Has anyone seen Bertelli testing? If not, will he actually start Sweden?

He tested 2 days. Pontus, Teemu and Elfyn only 1.

[tomhlord]

My apologies, I should have searched on Twitter for that myself and I didn't check back far enough on this thread. Thank you!

[lluisva555]

Bit of a mixed car, with the old design (2017) front fenders (no top vent and no winglets) and the brand new rear (reduced) vents (2019).... strange combination

[Tarmop]

Same car Grönholm used. Perhaps, for testing-breaking using older bumpers.

E: No, seems to be te official test car.

What is this big 'thing' on the roof??

What is this big 'thing' on the roof??

Looks very much like a pitot-tube to me.

Not sure you'd need it just to measure speed and if you want to measure some airflow changes due to the car front it's a bit too high up?

[lluisva555]

Yes, but even so you can measure the impact of the car on air flow speed, probably at different heights over the roof. It could also be useful as a validation for numerical simulation (CFD) results.
