Its a pre-event setup test.
Not a development test.

The impression that it's a dif. map development test could be due to camera position (most of the time at the hairpin and other tight corners in the forest).

Matton just announced that they're focusing on developing the car for 2018, not to set up the car for certain events

you cant separate these 2 (development for 2018 and car setup for the current rally)

My point is mknight thinks he can tell its a "diff map development test" from a youtube video. More nonsense.

I wrote it "looked more like" and that "probably for dif." adding that they claimed they wouldn't be focusing so much on specific setup for events.

You claim to know that it's pre-event setup test (stating it as a fact). There is a big difference between perception/opinion and facts, mixing the two is certainly popular recently. Therefore I make clear distinction between the two.

for development purposes can't, but for PR could.

Can't agree with that.
- For development (specially in early stage/on basic level) you want to have as many things as possible constant.
- For pre-event setup you want conditions most representative for the event, so for Germany you can have half stage as hairpins with bumps and half with long fast corners on smooth tarmac. Setup for one is not ideal for the other, so the event setup will be a compromise that works ok on both.

Obviously if the basics are ok and you understand how the car works development has to move from "perfect" conditions to something more resembling stages.
