WRC Testing

[Roy]

I know M-Sort had all ready a test. But i didn't see if they testes on snow/ice. I saw only (dry) tarmac. Have i missed some pics and vids?

I read a tweet of a dutch weatherman: next week a big change of snow in south of the alps.

Yes, this is one of the stretches that shows this rear movement.
Loeb drives beautifully, and You do want some degree of handling ability in the car, but exsessive movement in the rear will result in oversteer on acceleration, and then it will hamper acceleration somewhat.
Its difficult to say, out of some short testing videos, how important/uniportant this "discovery" is, but it is exsiting that it is possible to see differences between the drivers and the team - like the roll in the Fiestas.

watch the massive understeer how quickly moves to oversteer at slow corners exit.

This also shows a car wich seems on the soft side, bot on sideways roll, but also on dampers.
Probably some logic behind the set up choice, but for me it looks a little strange.
The outer front is loaded heavily, and above maximum grip level.
Dont think the exit oversteer is too bad.
(exessive understeer will more often than not lead to oversteer, as You probably know.)

Neither Dani Sordo or the Hyundai team are amateurs, so there is probably some logic behind this "wierd" set up, and it would be very cool to know about the strategy behind it. So if someone has any contacts, please enlighten me

This looks more like tarmac set-up, than anything else.

This seems to be a problem that cannot be solved with the current homologated chassis/suspension. After 1.5 years of testing the car, they should have found a way to solve the problem, it was there from the very beginning. Lets hope they have learned something, and their new car does not suffer from it.

For me it looks like they should stiffen it up, maybe the Anti Roll Bars, and maybe start at the rear? But very difficult to say just out of a video, and I am no set up engineer.

They should call me to set up the car

Tarmac rally with understeer is loosing lots of time!

If anyone know how to setup for asphalt, that should be Sordo. Perhaps Hyunday's construction doesn't allow more "precise" setup for asphalt. Or perhaps they're preparing for some more "loose" setup for changeable conditions with snow/ice. But I'm only guessing
