Ok. Tell me how many secs/km, please. Eager to hear your expert eyes. Says so much of coming season.

Per really you cant see any difference watching c3 and yaris videos?

Btw, anyone dares to bet a number on '17 sec/km advantage over '16 cars? Seems a nice topic for a pickem.

this is the difficult to fix,the slow-medium corners.Remember 1st gen i20,never managed to fix it.

To be fair that was a bit different case. I guess that it's easier to solve the issue with active center diff than without center diff at all. Without center diff the car naturally tends to understeer a lot and such natural behavior has to be compensated by indirect means. I think that it must be easier with 2017 cars.

its not rocket science,but its not so easy just because there is a center diff and its active.Too many variables at every stage you have to combine,different driving styles etc .Its a game it never ends,every rally you can make it better.

Rallyper showed limitless trust to me by asking me how slow yaris is and I told him.I never keep the Knowledge for myself,I always give my insight.Another forum member asked (rally power)how faster the new generation will be.Once more I will give the answers by quoting what a great driver once said.

<Testing back-to-back with the new and the old impreza,using the same tyres,the same set-ups,on a small 2.5-km test road,the 2000 car was consistenly 1.5 seconds quicker than the previous model.I was driving both cars,so I knew that extra speed was purely in the car alone.The old car was already very good on gravel but I could feel that the new car was faster.It felt sharper,lighter and could pull itself out of corners better.> Richard Burns(comparing 1999 and 2000 impreza wrc).

Taking in account that the new impreza was 0,6 sec/km faster under the SAME regulations i think it is easy for everyone to solve the equation about the new wrcars.I can say that in clear conditions(MC is not that kind of rally because of his unique nature) especially after the mid of the season(when the engineers and the drivers will know how exactly the car behaves) the new generation will be 2 sec/km faster for FOR SURE.Thanks

P.S
1) I am not that great as NOT is but at least I try.
2)I expect at least two likes from rallyper otherwise I will consider him as rude and ungrateful person without manners.
