Loeb's tests ended in a crash https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/1...den-test-crash
Testing crashes happen. Isn't a big deal..., unless it's Meeke.
An article in Autosport, is that a big deal?Quote:

Bertelli:
Awesome to be back in the seat of a rally car with @MSportLtd, preparing for @RallySweden with a 2 days PET!

I see it only takes 1,5 month to forget. Feel free to look back a few pages here to confirm, but reality was:Quote:

4. Toyota (and Meeke) were silent with Tommi even making some off-hand comment that it can be photoshop
5. 3-4 days later Makinen confirmed the crash happened.
So the interesting part was that Toyota seemingly tried to hide it (understandable since they just hired a driver that got fired for crashing) and how fanboys immediately tried to claim it was fake.
Did Andreas's Friday test go ahead as planned ?
Have not seen anything to confirm if "worked through the night to rebuild the i20 Coupe WRC for Andreas Mikkelsen's test on Friday" was completed in time
Yes it did
Kind of proves my point....Quote:

thanks Logic.
Any photos or videos anywhere ?
EDIT - just found a couple of short clips on Instagram

Meeke:
I had 3 great days testing in Finland last week for Rally Sweden. I came away with a really good feeling, but I'm keeping in mind that the conditions on the rally could be very different. Hopefully we'll have nice, consistent conditions and a rally everyone can enjoy #KM5 https://t.co/rX06ekCQen
Has anyone seen Bertelli testing? If not, will he actually start Sweden?
He tested 2 days. Pontus, Teemu and Elfyn only 1.
My apologies, I should have searched on Twitter for that myself and I didn't check back far enough on this thread. Thank you!
