Looking forward to seeing VW testing in ice/snowy conditions today. Not enough of that so far in the works team testing.
Do we know yet what conditions to expect for the rally itself?
The differences between Mads and Camilli in some places are huge.
I fear Evans could be faster than Camilli with an R5 in Monte. But is ok, the most important thing for Camilli is the difference between his performances from now to November. If there will be enough improvement and more space for learning the next year he could be confirmed.
I fear it will be very tough for him on first few events btw.
First forecasts say it will be sunny except for some clouds on thursday. But I think it is too early to take it too much seriously. Let's wait what Bluufod has to say when the situation will be more clear.Quote:

E: Correcting, he wasnt leading the rally but he won 6 stages. He lost a lot of time on the first stage, anyone remembers what happened?
I think You are right.Quote:

But I won't surprise if he ends the season bathing Mads on gravel, and being faster on tarmac.
In 2017 (if Camilli is still at M-Sport), I think Mads will have to work very hard to keep Camilli behind him.
Latvala testing today.Lets see the videos guys!

I think the car looks better here. It is not so nervous with the back end and the suspension looks more tuned for this smoother road.
Bertelli testing today

Yeah, that looks better to me as well. I'm more optimistic that we will have an interesting fight this season.Quote:

Looks much better. The first set up actually looks like Neuvilles set up when he struggles with understeering. He some times ends up whit a tail happy, quick turn in car.Quote:

I don't think it will. It will be better than 2015 spec, but the fact is that if you want to beat VWs, you should not have equal car but a better one since VW has also best drivers other than best car.Quote:
