Petter Solberg WRT

The livery looks unfinished and lacking sponsors, hope he gets some for mexico, he is confirmed in the DS3 WRC in the entry list by the way

Only one day of testing is'nt much before a specialist event like Sweden...

I’ve got the impression that understeer is a feature of the S2000 and WRC cars without a central differential. Also Loeb mentioned the understeer of the DS3 in the beginning of the development (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB5YF...layer_embedded, at 4:30).

Of course it’s also about setups but I would remember seeing a test video where the car wasn’t thrown into the corner and then the car understeered.

Does anyone else have the same impression?

Could it be that the plan is to team up with Kimi from Mexico, was it not rumours on that?

It`s like in the old gpA days, car doesn`t turn if it isn`t thrown in the corner. I think it`s more a problem of drivers, because the cars don`t have any active center diff / any center diff at all. It just asks for a different driving style, one that fans were missing the last decade :) . I mean not many of current drivers have had experience of preWRC cars. Even gpN Evos & STI ask for a smooth driving style.

Everyone driving S2000 is used to that ;)

I agree with mm1. ;)
Yes to what you say here, this is now exactly what rally concerns. It was for that driving style we went to the rallies! The last years we saw the WRCcars to drive as a train. If you want to see that go to F1!!! :p :

Luckily they'll adapt to the new technique and we'll be able to see who raises to the top.

Look on the hood: EuroLotto. Another sponsor?

Indeed. Eurolotto are a new sponsor, however there are fears that Eurolotto doesn't comply to Norwegian regulations and therefore they may be closed down.
