“I was still positively, how would I say? Surprised? Maybe surprised is not the right word.
“I was positive about the day and my first impression with the car is of course you say straightaway that it’s new technology and this is a big challenge for the teams.”
Ogier said he enjoyed the challenge of deploying and regenerating the electric boost – in the shape of an additional 120bhp – from the Yaris.
The eight-time world champion added: “On the driving style you have some things to adapt to with the regeneration, which is important to be able to use the boost.
“And some new parameters for us drivers and I think that somehow makes it exciting.
“It’s something new to try to adapt to. When it’s new, in general there’s always more expectation around it.”
Ogier will complete his test on a new road in France on Sunday.

And see the co-drivers seat now level with the driver so each seat supports the other in a side impact accident.
I'm not sure that's the reason why... a side impact significant enough to move the driver's seat is going to need more than another seat to absorb it...Quote:
