The reigning Fiesta-bashers on this thread will certainly "analyze and evaluate" this video and come to the conclusion that the car is pitifully slow and awful...Quote:

Iskald, pretty sure. :D

Is the Fiesta going to be using a 6 speed gear box?
Yes, all cars will have 6-speed box.
Excellent, cheers :)

Well, world rally cars are strong built - obvious example being the PX08 AXD Focus of Latvala, same for Portugal 2009 and Finland 2010.Quote:

Who was the driver on this testing video? I don't think it was Matthew, or has he improved his speed that much? :D
From the pictures you can clearly see the coloured glasses of the driver so it's Latvala.Quote:

20 years later what? Someone photoshops a car with the same livery? Delecour has a car confirmed? What?Quote:

Hopefully someone was there and can comment or show some videos...
There should be some videos because the ones showing the Fiesta are rather scarce, to say the least...Quote:

What was the plate on the test car? PX58AXF or PX59AUT? On the video it looks good, but of course we won't know nothing until first proper stage in Sweden.Quote:
