    Of course not and that's why I wonder how it will look like on them. Still the physics is clear. The sole reason of the aerodynamic features is to push the car to the ground hence limiting the air time hence shortening the jumps. That's simple logic.

    I have no doubt that these cars will be spectacular in the hands of some very talented people even if they may require an even smoother driving style.

    Maybe I do but while You are generally right it doesn't apply absolutely. Is Ogier in R2 spectacular? For sure he is. But is he more spectacular in WRC car? For sure he is or would You prefer to see him in R2 car instead of the WRC car? That's why the car plays a role in the spectacle. We have to wait and see but simple logic says that the new cars will slide less and will jump less because that's the only way how to use the aerodynamic features to make them faster. If not You can fire the man who designed the aero package.

    But the cars that are flying with the nose in the air will revert that effect so they might fly longer I'm sure you can stop it with braking mid air but will be harder to get it right i guess.

    I doubt they will fly nose-up by the time of NORF but we'll see.

    I admit that this is extremely spectacular but also a lot different to the M-Sport footage

    Wonder why the 2017 Fiesta has so much more prominent front aero than the Polo, C3 & i20 ?



    Front arches remind me a bit of the Gr.B S1 ...

    At the moment with their camo liveries, in gravel spec my favourite is Hyundai and in tarmac spec Fiesta...the Fiesta just looks so agressive and mean in tarmac spec!

    The Fiesta looks like Focus WRC '03 on steroids
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.
