downforce in every series is a function of their power. you can use only as much downforce as you can compensate with power, otherwise you lose on straight line speed.

so it is normal that wrc cars should have more downforce, as they drive nowhere near the top speed of dtm cars, so they have nowhere near as much drag.

haha good one!

Why do almost all guys here bashing a car which they don´t know more about than it has four wheels and big wings?

I notice all the 2017 cars, now including the Toyota, seem to have a plain front with similar front aero (just a big splitter).

Whereas the Fiesta has more on either side of the grill, blending into the front wheelarches...

Because some of us have proper judgement skills, if you see a pile of shit by the road you do not have to taste it to know its shit.

The toyota looks slow in testing, the aero looks more like something out of one of those retarded max power magazines and the team is being assembled by nationality rather than skill. The team manager has photos of rival manufacturers in the official team garage, the lead engineer left mid project and the driver selection is worthless.

If you need to taste the pile of shit to find out its shit then go ahead.

In every manus tests we can see new elements on the cars. Probably only after homologation we’ll get to know the full extension of ’17 aero kits.

True, but the Fiesta was the last to be created so you would expect its aero to be the least resolved.. but its front end actually looks the most.
