In Poland there is a company from Olsztyn that professionally prepares such tests https://www.facebook.com/odcinkitestowe/ - and Citroen uses their offerings every year - Hyundai and MSport also tested them in previous yearsQuote:

Challenge is that in Poland there is a number of roads that is designated test roads, and most of these gets very, very rutted. So difficult to get rally conditions.Quote:

So basically Samsonas Rally (same crew from 300 Lakes rally) organizers crew suggest Hyundai to come and test in Lithuania, they filmed 4 stages, Hyundai guys watched it and try to find most similar to Poland roads - all was suitable, they choose 3 of them and did testing. it was required hard surface roads, and service zone near stage. Also everyone in team has their own food wishes, so test organizer should supply required meal.
And it's very sad that everyone still remember those disaster stages in Lithuania from Rally Poland - Hyundai's first question was - Is they are same guys that responsible for those stages in Lithuania...Hope someday Lithuania get 2nd chance, because we have good stages also :)

The cars probably are going faster in the test vid's as the driver's are repeating the same stage and know it really well and so are more committed.Quote:

But this is the same for every test isn't it? They always test on the same set of roads. I just feel that overall speed seems faster, but it could be the tests were in Finland which makes sense.

A Finnish news site reported that Latvala's second test day was interrupted because of an electrical fault. There's an interview in Finnish with some driving clips.

So am I right in thinking that Toyota can test on as many days as they want in some parts of Finland, due to it being within certain kms from their base? Whereas for other manufacturers the days spent testing in Finland eats into their yearly number of test days allowed?
