    It isn't that long, in two weeks time it is new year. I think he deserves some vacation after a long season, and I am sure he will be in good form for MC2017

    <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
    Congrats naftaktos, you’re the first brave enough to put a number on the table! 2s/km seems huge, but at the end you may be right.

    I bet on a 1,5s/km gap, more or less the same difference there's between current WRC’s and R5’s.
