Well, if they again run this kind of setup it won’t be much of a surprise if radiator or front suspension brakes.
thats why i posted this photo,even the corner has a camber,maybe he is on brakes,imho still looks very low.Quote:

Who is Gus Greensmith? Is that the guy with a rich dad? Lol
that description fits 90% of all WRC drivers good and bad alike.Quote:

But with 2 weeks between Chile and Portugal i don't know really.Quote:

I've only seen pictures taken by David Evans, seemingly from Monday, of Elfyn's test. That looked to me to be Greystoke forest, M-Sport's local facility.Quote:

Is MSport already in saving mode or is Greystoke not counting for tests days limit? After all other manus intensive testing in Portugal (using several locations in the North, Center and South of the country) for Argentina/Chile events, it’s a bit surpising to see MSport only using a local site.Quote:

Btw, we have done a compilation of 2019 aero modifications, jokers and tests days consumed up to present date by each team, together with planned modifications for the coming months, in our latest post, hope you enjoy it

The second day of gravel tests is over. Tomorrow we need to rebuild, moving to a new place and have two more days of tests then.
M-Sport confirms why their test was at home not in Portugal:
"Our designers and engineers never stop working and just last week we completed a two-day development test in Greystoke forest.
“We won’t see everything we tested on the cars just yet, but the session provided an opportunity to test and confirm various gravel set-ups..."

Yes, Greystoke is M-Sport's "free" testing site. But also notice the Chile roads are quite similar to those in England so they're focusing on that whereas everyone else is focusing on Argentina.

No rest if you want to be the best!
Strange to hear that Argentina stages can’t be replicated in Europe; Citroen and Hyundai spent a week in different locations at the North and Center of Portugal testing for it (and for Chile). They also gathered important data for Rally de Portugal; a sort of 3 in 1 that hardly can be done in Greystoke.Quote:

Btw, the images in the Mobil 1 video are from last February Toyota Mexico PET (in Almeria, Spain).
