No, but when I posed the question I still had doubts :)
Have to say I think it looks good... still curious how the new engines will sound though.

On gravel tyres?Quote:

Hmm, do You actually believe they are testing for something like Cyprus 09 during current development tests? This combination of tarmac setup and gravel tyres hasn't been used in any other WRC event in last decade.
Anyway more interesting is that the car was already tested with FIA controlled turbocharger and that according to Mr. Wilson it used same transmission as current S2000 without reliability problems.
Hey, chill out! In 2010, gravel with some asphalt: Rally of Turkey, Rally New Zealand etc..
Yes, of course, but in none of them they used tarmac suspension together with gravel tyres which is on the photo. Such combination was used only on Cyprus last year.
Such combination is in fact useless and no-one would choose to use it if he had other choice. In Cyprus they had no choice - regulations said they had to use gravel tyres for complete tarmac leg. It's completely different situation than few kilometers on tarmac in let's say 95% gravel leg like in Turkey or New Zealand.
Anyway, I just said I found it strange combination for development testing. Nothing more. Don't search for something else in my statement ;) Maybe they have some special reason for doing that and I would welcome explanation but I really don't believe it's some Cyprus-like issue.
