Just watching SVT showing them with a speed-gun check on the flat-out section today... Top 3 - Evans & Tanak 183kph, Latvala 181kph.
Latvala later said the Yaris is better the faster he goes, with the aero sucking the car to the road. :cool:
Meeke very disappointing considering his road position. 4th is okay, but the fact that he is almost 52 seconds behind already shows it has been a pretty lackluster day for him today.
Meeke: My tyres were completely shot! Not a bad day but lost a lot of time when we lost the studs...
guys sorry for tomorrow how will be the starting order? their will reverse top10 or all wrc cars?
Very boring day, no crashes, no pushing. Neuville's episodic attack on ss7 proves it - they're just trying to bring those new cars back to the service. Hope it will be different tomorrow.
Some great coverage on SVT... wish I could understand them but pictures were excellent anyway. :(

SS8 "Very tricky stage with the dark and my door was kept opening towards the end of the stage so I lost a bit of a time in there" #WRC
"Aerodynamics greatly changes the behavior of these new cars, in very fast portions, the car goes down at the top, There is a lot of support that gives us more grip and stability. You have to drive very efficiently with these cars, you have to "dose" almost every corner. "
"It is clear that it is going faster and that we must be well awake," said Sébastien Ogier. "You have to be very careful and have good notes so as not to be surprised."
"It's incredible," added Kris Meeke, "this is the first time you can really see the potential of the car, which was not possible at the Monte Carlo. Roads very fast, you can really feel the contribution of the aero. The car is much more stable than in the past. "

No C3 onboards from there yet.
Now they have updated some of those onboards with better gfx and speeds are different from same place. Latvala 199 Östberg 197 and Lefebvre 192. How hard can it be to get onboards from every car and with same data format... :rolleyes:
Ostberg must have had another problem! Going without the rear wing cannot cost more than let´s say 2 minutes anyway!!!
"At Monte Carlo, we did not have the right tires, fortunately by the way, and it was already very fast. Here in Sweden today we saw today in the second special of the day (ES3-ES6) that the speeds were important. Thierry has twice the best time at more than 125 km / h on average. "
The quadruple world champion then expressed some doubts about the all-new Knon special (ES9-ES12), which competitors will borrow twice this Saturday.
"In this special, it's going to be crazy. The averages are likely to reach 135 or even 140 km / h. When one sees the road conditions, with finally few walls of snow, it is limit safety level. I hope that the FIA and the organizers will make decisions ... "

So after the Friday, top 10 is within less than 30 seconds! (All remaining WRC cars! Excluding rally 2.)
