Still think Hyundai is the best looking -17 car. They seem to have taken some inspiration from the other teams...
EDIT: It is interesting... they are allowed slots in the rear wheel arches for what I assumed was brake cooling and the Hyundai has much smaller slots than the other teams. I guess the slot is used for other things in the other teams, like blowing the diffuser or something
I really like the honeycomb crash structure on the doors of the new WRC cars. This is safety vise the weakest point on a rally car, and great to see it taken seriously!
Hyundai starting to look very good. :)
Front very Msport-inspired. Rear wing very much like VW/Citroën with the "GT upper mountings".
"Coupé-like" roof line should be an advantage getting air on the rear wing.
That it looks absolutely bad ass is no bad thing either!
Finally WRC-cars are starting to look the business again. :)
No, no. You just missed what John VanLAndingham was trying to educate:Quote:

I may have a bit of soft spot for Fiesta because I spent some months of my life working on it (stock one) :)Quote:

Big fan of that Hyundai. It's really changed a lot in the last 3 months. Like Lunde says those big thick doors are really striking.
That Hyundai is damn pretty. It's not going to win any rally being pretty, I know, but clear favorite. Hope it goes like it looks.Quote:

Well, since the VW is out of the window it is now 2nd ugliest on my list so... Anyway, back to technical stuff. How locked in is the aero homologation? Anyone know? I remember Citroen last year changed the aero on the DS3 mid season without an issue.Quote:

In the last photo it is visible that the rear air intakes are both for cooling of the brakes and also the differential.
yes seems like that.Quote:

Does anybody know which road were they testing on? One place in the video reminds me one where I was a long time a go - on stage Saint Bonnet of RMC, Gardemeister went off there in 2010.
yes at Saint Bonnet said at the French forum.Quote:
