Sordo testing in Spain. It seems that they improve so much.... Still they are no as fast as Ford and Citroen, but...looks good.

hmmm i wonder if they manage to make it faster than a s2000 car by the time they enter.
When testing in Sardinia??
I have a few (stupid) guestions about testing
since I don't know nothing about it.
How many times do the teams usually drive the stage through
before anything is changed. I know it depends on many things
but some guidelines perhaps.
And when they change something, let's say a suspension,
do they go from one end to the other or is just little by little until they hit the right spot.
What things can driver adjust in the car while driving?
Generaly, they used a track on 3kms. Between each setup change : 2 or 3 runs so about 12-18kms.
I think they adjust little by litlle and they try new things. Sometimes, they just change tires to try with several types of tires or sometimes nothing is changed because they will used the setup from last yeat for the rally and this is just to drive.

I think Ford saying that it won't hamper their preparations for WRC Mexico is a little white lie.
There must be at least one person rolling their eyes in the Ford camp.

They'll have a new car there tomorrow and Mikko will drive three-day tests. JM will go there again on next monday and complete his final day of testing. So nothing to worry about. :)
