Looks and sounds great :D
Going by that video they must be 0.2-0.3 seconds faster per KM than Citreon ;)

At least. Nearer 0.4s/km from my judgement ;)Quote:

Maybe a good thing to get inputs from other drivers with different styles, to get a car that can be fast for more than one driver?
Depping, Hänninen sure did some testing for VW. Maybe also Abbring and Mikkelsen. I don't know.
If the car is good enough (which I think it will be) any driver will be fast in it.Quote:

Nice video! Sainz is such a boss getting a chopper straight to the testing location. VW are looking good, hopefully they can debut at the end of 2012
I'm a rallyfan, pure heart and couldn't care less about F1 BUT, I've seen a few F1 drivers testing a rallycar and vice versa. What I've witness, F1 drivers have made relatively good stage runs taking in consideration how little expereince they have. And then I've seen rally drivers trying to launch F1-car and fail.... so who are the baboons again??Quote:
