He should immediately be replaced by someone who looks faster on Monte PET videos.

This season should be his last chance to really perform

Well, he needs to learn the car. He has a two year contract so this season doesn't matter so much as Ogier will be expected to be the team performer.

You're calling a driver's last chance before a single competitive kilometer of a 2-year contract has been driven. I don't know if this is a troll or what, but it strikes me as bafflingly stupid.

Re Evans - bear in mind he has been in Fiesta's his whole career and a change of car is bound to affect him more than most.

Also he is never very quick in SD's either so its not worth judging him until the rally starts.

Please do not proceed estimating anyone’s speed from testing videos.

Also, in 2018 we had a driver having used Fiestas for all of his WRC career sit into a Yaris...

Please do not proceed estimating anyone’s speed from testing videos.

We ought to distinguish things here a bit...

1. a driver on a test vid can "look" aggressive, rugged, carefull, clean etc.

2. Based on that we can presume he is driving faster or slower, but only the clock tells the truth.

3. There can be very little relation between all this and the speed on a stage on an actual event.

----------

Talking about speed on an event based on test vid is obviously quite ridiculous. A bit more realistic is talking whether he is driving slow or fast but still it's mostly perception.

However, talking about how a test drive looks should be absolutely normal and encouraged here.

So I don't like the recent trend that people who mention 1. get responses with arguments about 3.

EstWRC
8th December 2019, 14:43
i think just that people got upset yesterday about the "slow as shit" commentary...

otherwise i agree that its welcomed here that people express their opinion what they see on the vids. Like you said we dont know the times but we can indeed see if the driver is agressive and etc.

on Tuesday, after all the guys have finished their first tests, id like actually that someone makes a like a little review how everybody looked etc. dimviii for example.

For me it is very interesting to read. I miss the noseendfirst guy who did those "reviews" here back in the day.

I would say that his driving is rather edgy.. Okay, the road is a bit slippier, but still.. If I didn't know that it is Ogier, I could have easily said Kalle.. Nothing bad about Ogier, but due to slippy conditions the drive seems slow.

I want to add:

- We usually only get to see some passes of a test day. We might see a driver on a pass with wrong setup or wrong tyres or warming tyres or whatnot
- in testing videos, we only see a few corners of a test run. We might see only the bad/good corner of the run
- we don’t know the conditions or the target of the test
- what looks fast may actually be (and usually is) slow, and vice versa

No-one here knows anything about what the driver's are testing in these videos.

People commenting on rally SD runs get shot down if they're making speed judgements. So on tests its totally pointless.

Its fun to see guys in action in their new cars here but thats all. Wait for the drivers comments or better still, Monte.

Present in the Yaris with Sébastien Ogier this Sunday morning on the side of Valbelle for the first tests of the Monte Carlo Rally, Julien Ingrassia, co-driver of the six-time gapençais world champion, delivered his first impressions, while the championship resumes in a little more than 'a month. "There are a lot of things to relearn, we are happy to discover the new car, the new team ... But there is work, every hour counts", he explains, before letting go of his ambitions with Ogier "We're coming to fight for the title, but we're not alone, there's a lot of people around, with quite a high level."

Surely it's because there's zero grip?

We have now seen just about everyone and their dog testing for Monte on icy patches with zero grip. This vid has by far the highest number of understeering moments, followed by Evans vid and some corners of Ogier's test, while for example Rovanpera would always go sideways.

Doesn't mean it's slow(est) and also doesn't mean there is something wrong with the setup, might be he is just trying to drive that way or testing something specific. But it's quite unusual for Neuville's typical tarmac driving of the past 3 years.

They use it to get data, but I'm not 100% sure which data.

maailmameister
15th January 2020, 10:59
Those are ride hight sensors, they messure varience in the suspension and how it performs under loads. Very common when testing suspension set up. It is, effectively, an optical mouse tracking sensor. So it can do height, distance, yaw angle, speed, and probably a couple more outside of the box. Then you put all of that data to interpolate it with the regular telemetry data, and you can make a lot more sense of a lot of data points.

Gus Greensmith on his Monte PET:

I just got back from two days testing in Monaco, it was really good, went really well, really positive by the end of the day, I think all the footage looked really sideways, but for me, Monaco it’s quite important to be confident with the car, rather than finding the ultimate setup and time, you’ve just got to be confident in changing conditions, so that day was about throwing it in, I did it last year, so I don’t see why it shouldn’t work again.

Warren Nel

I said that fans had been watching the testing videos which had been posted online and were saying how the car looks quite lairy and sideways.

Gus Greensmith

Yeah, people love it and it’s not the fastest way, but unfortunately when you’re driving in Monaco you’ve just got to be prepared to throw it into a corner that’s going to have no grip in it what-so-ever, so we have to send it in, and I want to be the fastest person transitioning from tarmac to the ice, and that’s why in the test you saw me throwing the car around from corner to corner, I want to when I get here I know exactly what’s it going to be like before anyone else.

He really is something else. Impeccable driving.Such an incredible talent. Would love to see him really announce himself and show how good he can be early in the season, so the pressure doesn't start to build on him too much if results aren't there.

Such an incredible talent. Would love to see him really announce himself and show how good he can be early in the season, so the pressure doesn't start to build on him too much if results aren't there.

It's hard to keep expectations in check considering how much natural talent he has, but hopefully if he struggles/ takes time to adapt, he will still get the time and patience (most) young drivers need.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is the play-station generation of rallying youth. Similar to what's happened in F1 with all the 18 year old's that have impressed lately (I don't mean they have learned their craft on the PS either).
Really wouldn't be surprised if he nails it and we see something similar from young Solberg too.

too early to say something like this.Dry part was amazing though,even with snow tyres i suspect.

impossible to judge based on test vids, Lappi and SUninen also looked good (well spectacualar is better word) for me on that amazing road a week ago, Loeb looked amazing on the fun road too this week and etc

Ofcourse he is just trying to find the limits in changeable conditions, but as you say it still is a rare sight for Ogier to go off like that.

If you realize I was joking. Having Arctic Rally in WRC would come at the expense of Jyväskylä Rally Finland.

I don't know much about Sweden's rallying scene, is there any proper rallies in Northern part of the country that could be converted into WRC level? Something with a relatively big city nearby.

Why not Finland having two rounds?

Regarding Sweden Östersund has proper conditions normally. But collides with alpine skiing season...
Also Umeaå area could host.

Well, it's uncommon for a country to have two rounds in a championship. Unless they made it a "Nordic WRC event" like European GP. Also, I believe the ASN would run out of resources arranging two WRC events. Meanwhile, car manufacturers are probably more interested in going to Canada for a snow rally instead of Finland which is a relatively small market even for one WRC event.

Going to Rovaniemi much easier than to Canada.

But sure ASN maybe not manage two events.

Never say never because of history.

He's on snow tyres, the stage has good snowbanks and its only a short SD stage and maybe he's done it a few times.

They used 2 stages : no ice / snow in the first one in the moring. Then in the afternoon, snow in the second one with a dry first part (flatout on studs :O )

What about Arctic Rally instead of Rally Finland and Rally Sweden takes the August date? On a rotation basis of course, we wouldn’t want to lose Jyväskylä forever!
