I also agree with previous comments about the car, it looks really good at the moment, also the suspension has clearly improved since the videos from the first test day.

News bit of Ogier testing in Kuhmoinen:

Excellent video Juha!
Here's another set of pictures from my friend: rallyphotos.kuvat.fi
Apparently King Carlos was present as well...
EDIT: And is that Lois Moya with him? http://rallyphotos.kuvat.fi/kuvat/VW...+/IMG_2682.JPG
Read somewhere that Carlos will be driving at the tests as well at some point. WeŽll see.
I'd love to see that....I still giggle how good Kankunnen did when he basically just hopped in the Ford a couple of years ago.Quote:

But it's completely different thing to do media and to spectate, while shooting video you need to focus 100% to it etc. so the experience goes a bit past. Then also when doing videos, it's quite long days, getting up at 6-7am, driving 1-3 hours to the test site and then ~8 hours spectating/videoing at the test, lots of walking, maybe talking with people, getting something to eat and then driving back home, and maybe 1-2 hours of editing etc.Quote:

Car was now on a rather open place but cameras were prohibited. I made some observations though... I guess local people thought that I was a nutcase as I was crouching on the ground twisting my head to get good view.
