Ok. Tell me how many secs/km, please. Eager to hear your expert eyes. Says so much of coming season.

Colin Clark @voiceofrally re Latvala in the Yaris:
'These speeds are just mind blowing. I'm not sure I've ever seen a car taking a hairpin as quickly as this.'

He should watch last video with Meeke then.
Could some one please notice the difference in body styles between this Yaris test to one shown at the launch?

At least the Toyota appears to have a very good engine. Should give them a base to work from

Honestly, I can't see anything wrong on the Yaris suspension, quite the opposite, as the car seems to handle nicely, even on high speed sections. It only looks there still some traction issues on slower corners, probably due to diff set up testing, like br has explained.
To be fair that was a bit different case. I guess that it's easier to solve the issue with active center diff than without center diff at all. Without center diff the car naturally tends to understeer a lot and such natural behavior has to be compensated by indirect means. I think that it must be easier with 2017 cars.

Rallyper showed limitless trust to me by asking me how slow yaris is and I told him.I never keep the Knowledge for myself,I always give my insight.Another forum member asked (rally power)how faster the new generation will be.Once more I will give the answers by quoting what a great driver once said.
<Testing back-to-back with the new and the old impreza,using the same tyres,the same set-ups,on a small 2.5-km test road,the 2000 car was consistenly 1.5 seconds quicker than the previous model.I was driving both cars,so I knew that extra speed was purely in the car alone.The old car was already very good on gravel but I could feel that the new car was faster.It felt sharper,lighter and could pull itself out of corners better.> Richard Burns(comparing 1999 and 2000 impreza wrc).
Taking in account that the new impreza was 0,6 sec/km faster under the SAME regulations i think it is easy for everyone to solve the equation about the new wrcars.I can say that in clear conditions(MC is not that kind of rally because of his unique nature) especially after the mid of the season(when the engineers and the drivers will know how exactly the car behaves) the new generation will be 2 sec/km faster for FOR SURE.Thanks
P.S
1) I am not that great as NOT is but at least I try.
2)I expect at least two likes from rallyper otherwise I will consider him as rude and ungrateful person without manners.

yes it is speed up.Its not the only one that is speed up,plenty of videos are like this.
Havent you noticed?
dim on this particular video i can't notice it
iam not always talk about speed up videos,i am talking about some videos that they are playing in faster than normal speed.If they are by purpose or some technical reason I don't know.The video we were talking about the Yaris withLatvala at the uphill hairpin is speedup.
Yes 60 fps makes it look faster while it's only smoother, not faster.

Don't you guys think it's a bit strange that Ogier is on holiday, having done only one real test with the Fiesta, while JML is practically driving every day?
I know the Yaris needs to be developed more than the Fiesta and I agree Ogier is a better driver than JML, but I think I'd be driving as much as possible to get good grips on the new car.
