A positive day of test in Finland today where we had good snow conditions. Let's see what we get next week in #RallySweden. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for some good cold temperature..

Two short movies from Neuville test yesterday.

There was a little snow and ice, but for the most ice/gravel.
Exactly the same conditions as on the stages now.

Could rain in Mexico as well. It did in 2017. In 2018 it rained in Sardegna, in 2019 in Argentina and Turkey.

Yep, they’ve managed to test for Mexico, Argentina, Portugal, Italy and even for a winterish Wales, as the last 2 stages were run under heavy rain and fog! ;)


Reports that Tanaks car stopped after fafe jump


He retired after Fafe/Lameirinha second jump (the most famous one) with some kind of tech issue (we were on the first jump and the car seemed ok). Anyway, Tanak was impressive all event long, managing to get some extra kms with the car in quite challenging conditions. Sordo was also lacking kms (absent since Catalunya) and the way he was driving clearly showed he was having a great time (so do we, by watching him!).

Tanak’s words to Autopsort.pt during today mid-service: https://youtu.be/3PXolfhPtuM

Btw, after another fabulous show from WRC drivers on a national event it’s hard not to think that if 2022 regs end being based on R5’s we’ll miss the current WRC cars for many years. They’re probably the most amazing machines ever created for this sport.

Yep, due to the entry list this event was hugely crowded but safety forces presence was reduced, specially comparing to Portugal’s WRC rally top standard. From what I’ve heard, the guy only suffered a small bruise by falling down from the gravel bank.

Not something official and RallyPower should be able to confirm, but the guy has a cut in his head and from what they were saying on the reports he broken his hand in the fall as well. Montim is a fantastic stage for watching because you can see large chunks of road and it as tall banks were you can stand safely. The problem is that there are always some idiots that bend down to the road. Thankfully in WRC Portugal security is much more tighten and this kind of stuff does not happen. And Hyundai ended up tested the effects of rallying the car in just half wing.

Sordo’s car rear wing was replaced on mid-day service but even with a damage wing he was flat out all over the place. The guy loves Fafe stages and is always eager to provide the crowd (which include many of his compatriots) a first class show. Big thanks to him, Del Barrio, Tanak and Jarveoja for their commitment; hope Hyundai gets a 1-2 in Mexico with them (that way maybe Toyota and MSport could be tempted coming next year to Rali Serras de Fafe ;)).

Don't really remember Hyundai diving like that before. But it's just one picture.




Btw, after another fabulous show from WRC drivers on a national event..

For sure for spectators it's nice. But as I have been saying for over a year now it's not good for WRC at all. Teams that have money use it to avoid testing restrictions. Hyundai in this case, but Toyota also have their own way to do that (testing around Jyväskylä), and also did quite a few local starts.

Result is that teams that have less money can't compete and leave (Budar complained about this openly last year). Citroen's gone already and now it looks like it's MSport time to drop out of podium fight for all rallies.

I don't think it's that bad for WRC. Teams that have more money to spend, will spend it anyway, and that will always bring an advantage. Having them testing on local rallies gives the other teams more opportunities to see what they're working on.

I'd rather them have to take part in more local events and do less secretive testing in empty forests. The latter is a far greater waste of money and effort.

More than a proper test it was clear that Tanak/Sordo entry in Fafe was a way to give them competitive kms on gravel, which makes one wonder how resourceful can Hyundai permanent test base in Germany actually be. Do Hyundai drivers run there in proper rally roads like MSport drivers at Greystoke or Toyota guys near Jyvaskyla? Btw, Citroen Satory base was pretty useless in terms of gravel roads.

If they can run this Toyota i20 as much as they want, maybe they can test some old and new parts and if they see progress, they can later do shorter test with Yaris as they have more info from the i20 test.

I don't think they have any additional test days for the 2021 model. There will be some for developing the 2022 cars though.

Also remember that Toyota can test the 2021 car in their designated test area, where testing is unlimited anyway.

Hyundai test must have been planned before they announced Finland and NZ cancellation and they decided to do it anyway. Probably cars and people were already on the way. Maybe Finland was one of the few countries where they could go as well.

Doubt they would go to test there if none of these factors were involved. Little common with any of the remaining rallies and little reason to test for next year when multiple parts of the car can change again by then.

nice article about Hyundais test https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/inside-hyundais-incredible-test-crash-recovery/

For the last two seasons, Tänak’s been in the box seat when Rally Finland’s come to town. And for the last two seasons he made the most of the Toyota Yaris WRC – a car crafted on these roads – and took back-to-back wins in Jyväskylä. Knowing how good the Yaris was, he can tell us how much work has to be done with the i20.

We pose the question. Cue one of those looks from Ott that speaks volumes without saying anything. And this time the silence is saying: “Do you seriously expect me to answer that?”

Yes. Please.

He smiles. He’s seen us coming.

“Every car,” he offers, “has its own personality. We are working on this car now to make sure it beats the other one.”

Classic Tänak. There’s a wink from his PR man Henri Rump. One-nil. He’s taught him well.

Cash is tight at M-Sport with the Evaluation Centre to be finished and 2022 car to be started. A few runs in Greystoke will probably be all they'll do.

Is this inside info Eddie? Or have you pulled from the internet somewhere (the bit about cash being tight at M-Sport).

Both facts are on their website, plus that the pandemic has stopped income streams for cars and parts. Its my assessment that cash is therefore tight and wont be spent on expensive testing.

This also on Dirtfish...

"It's tough right now,” said Wilson. “I’ve been in this business a long time and I can’t remember anything like this – nobody can. As you know, there’s nothing more important to me than each and every member of my staff. We’ve had to lose some of them, we’ve had to make some redundancies because we simply didn’t have any money coming into the company.

“When there’s no rallying and no racing, nobody’s buying cars, nobody’s hiring them, buying spares, there’s no rebuild work. Everything just stopped.”

“The last thing I want to be doing right now is spending money,” said Wilson.

Testing of the new 2022 Cars was planned to start in 6 months time (Jan 2021).

https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/wrc-teams-will-begin-testing-2022-cars-next-january/

But the pandemic delay and loss of income has had some effect though.

Toyota has recently canned their GR Yaris and will spend on developing their curent car instead.

Without full Ford backing it's therefore likely M-Sport will have to cut their current car test/development costs to ensure they are ready to build and test their 2022 car.

But Hyundai can probably do anything they want such is their funding.

NickRally
19th June 2020, 19:08
Regarding Wilson's words, they could have used the Government's furlough scheme instead of making any redundancies, especially that this is now extended till October, but of course the chances are, they intended to make these people redundant anyway and just used the current situation as an excuse.

As I was saying about M-Sport saving money and/or using Greystoke...

'Despite the fact that the teams agreed to have four days of additional tests to the test days that are linked to each rally on the calendar, the Cumbrian preparer has decided to forgo them to save costs .

This was explained by Richard Millener , director of M-Sport, "We did not find it particularly convincing to go testing in Finland when we know that we are not going to compete there this year. In addition, there is the financial issue and the question of whether we could bring back the personnel who traveled to that test due to the confinement and quarantine regulations that exist in the United Kingdom. Travel is quite complicated for us. The feeling we have is that we prefer to wait, understand what the schedule will be like and then make our test plan around that . Until we have something definitive about the WRC, we save resources."

Source: Motor.es
https://www.motor.es/noticias/m-sport-apuesta-programa-test-distinto-hyundai-toyota-202068666_68666_amp.html

“There’s not so much point testing for the sake of testing. We could have done that at our permanent site in Greystoke. Until we’ve got something to aim for, we’ll save the resource,” he added.

Gryazin and Munster testing for South Belgian Rally (which is preparation for Ypres). The test stage looks a bit more similar to roads in Spa than South Belgian or Ypres.

Went to see Tänak this afternoon. He didn't do many runs (and according to what I heard, even less in the morning), also didn't look very confident until late in the afternoon. Quite interesting to see he almost avoided all cutting in the beginning of the test session, only starting to take the cuts properly in the last runs. I think they were struggling with something, not sure what, it looked like they couldn't find any grip. In full wet conditions he looked quicker than on dry. A few photos:
