Finally I found videos from Fords testing in Sweden before Christmas. :) Check them out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO3yMFXYzJc or here: http://www.maxattack.net/2009/01/for...t-in-jamtland/
Henning Solberg and Urmo Aava tested yesterday (I don't know about Wilson but he too seems to be a good guess) in Cooley Mountain on Ireland. Video is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=logokYYvfY8 or here http://www.maxattack.net/2009/01/vid...ing-focus-wrc/
Henning writes in his blogg that they should have been testing but the owner of the test road got a heart attack or something, so no testing for him yesterday.Quote:

Aava tested and drove about 100kms. He says that Ford understeers more than Citroen, but is a nice car to drive.

I believe it was a marshall that sadly became ill. The test roads are all public roads that have been closed by the local council for the test.Quote:

Last wednesday, Citroën was testing in Spain with Dani Sordo, gravel setup on tarmac in the way to prepare next Cyprus Rally. Pictures are from a colleague from forocompeticion

Looks like Cyprus could be fun to watch!
Is the first day of Cyprus on Tarmac, followed by Gravel? And are they to use Gravel tyres on Tarmac??
I wonder how long does those gravel tires last when you smoke them like that :-) Anyway, looks fun!
Yes, because changing all suspension parts, brakes... it's too expensive (money and work-time speaking) for just one day, so they'll take part on friday, tarmac stages, with gravel set-up
And here comes a video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1J_wopV1zc
There will remain any part of tyre at the end of stage??
Very, very spectacular
What´s the purpose of the light in the front left side of the bumper?Quote:

Henning is testing in front of rally Norway at Gol.
He hopes to get the settings right and get used to the new wide winter tyres.

Happy with his new Skoda, and Baumschlager is happy that the car is in one piece !

go on, son :)
I take it that must be a Stobart Focus for Rally Norway in Henning's workshop's as I have heard the Focus's dont come back to Britain now between some events , but get paint and mechanicals done up locally.Quote:
