WRC Testing

[Watson]

I wonder if Evans will get to test this time ? Or doesnt he need it !

How did that actually work? Do they go like: "This is how Seb set it up and Ott prefers this and that and they said whatnot about it so now go and do some tweeks in the shakedown." ?

I don't do any racing or rallying myself but I think I couldn't help feeling hopelessly unprepared. It didn't seem to affect Elfyn much though.

Yes, 1km from my home.

Cool, I’m planning to go there so you’re the right guy to get info from! Will they use both Sta Quiteria and Seixoso? In each one they’ll be after 2.00 pm? Thanks in advance.

They will use Santa Quitéria tomorrow only. Seixoso should be use by another manufacter soon, maybe Toyota. Friday M-Sport goes to north (Ponte de Lima) with Tänak. Ogier Saturday and Sunday. Evans should be there in monday there too.

Unffortunately i can't miss work tomorrow, so i will leave sooner and see (if possible) last 1h of tests Sunday will go to Ponte de Lima see champ (Saturday is European Hillclimb round for me).

Skoda at Santa Quitéria, 9th May

Maybe testing just throws up even more possibilities to try or adjust and made more confusion. Perhaps Evans just forgot all that and just got on with driving what he had as fast as possible. Plus he did a lot of the gravel testing in the development.

If Ogier is chasing a 'Polo drive' from ths Fiesta, that may be where he is going wrong.
