Thanks J_n_z, please keep these coming.

Sweden SS6: OSTBERG
Feeling the lack of rear aero. "It's horrible without the rear wing. The car is designed to have it... and without it it's the worst handing car."

No shit.

[N.O.T]

I think that aero is just a gimmick, after all there are many people who won stages without aero in the past...

I post this here also, easier to find than in the Sweden thread.

Latvala presents the Yaris’s aero. Nothing special what he says else that they have to have downforce also in the front because of big rear wing. In the end good view of the diffuser. They are not using the openings at front of the rear wheels in Sweden.

When 1995?

Man please keep of this thread, it is about how things work and not about how things are being said.
Look swedish rally results and stop making fool of yourself...

I am not following this sw rally closely, how rough are stages or are stages becoming?
It was said in the past that Toyota may have less suspension travel... if it is truth it should be working even better.

Craig Breen SS7 "The first time I've felt the effects of a damaged front aero package. We patched it up as best we could but it's incredible the effect that the aero makes..."

But NOT thinks he knows better...

According to Ogier, this is the rally where we’ll get to see the cars’ bigger wings influencing the proceedings for the first time.

"It’s always a compromise between finding some grip but also not having too much drag," he says. “With the speeds we’re going to have this weekend, aerodynamics is going to play a big role. You’ve also got some big straights here and drag is going to cost you speed and performance.

“I don’t know exactly how each team has worked on that, but it’s always a compromise between finding some grip but also not having too much drag. Here, the drag will have a big influence, especially on Knon. It’s really fast and has got long, long straights, so the engine is going to count, and aero as well.”

If you meant me... no, just saw pictures and posted the link. I have no access to live WRC at the moment, too much work to do and to many children to feed... some day, when my beard will be completely gray
