Puma seems like a glove at Tanaks arms.Impressed from videos,specially from this one.Car in bad tarmac seems excellent,and we can see that Tanak can push a lot.That one,you cant do with a car you cant trust.

Often on Monte test the cars look bad or weird, a lot of it is they are testing all the tyre options so don’t have the maximum amount of grip.
I think some of the videos it looks like he has the studded tyre on.

Very different roads and conditions (dry
but very rough, dirty and bumpy) but Tanak and the Puma look amazingly confident and comfortable. Veryipressive from the pair and bodes well for Monte.

Watching all the Tänak vids then I can agree with one thing what’s been said here - the boy definitely doesn’t seem to lack any confidence with the machine. But testing is testing

And is it just me that he drives the puma way more aggressively than he did with i20 the past three years ?

Also, I noticed they used the old style mirrors yesterday, I wonder if it was planned so or they just ran out of the current ones with two days cause the kept losing them with every pass :D
