I assume at this point they will have at least 3 cars ready or about ready.Quote:

I wouldn't bet on that because of how late they started the testing of the actual 2022 cars. Everything seems to be pointing out to them being behind the scheduleQuote:

Nope. They only had the one and another will take some time.Quote:

Mate, I’m with you. All I can say is let’s be grateful those two lads are ok.Quote:

Given that this was the first high-speed test for the new car (the previous tests being on ridiculous amounts of snow on tarmac tyres...), I hope the crash wasn't caused by some sort of fundamental flaw in the new car....
Meanwhile TGR have sent a 2022 Yaris Rally1 test car to Japan to show and do demo runs.

They'll need at least 3, preferably 4 or more ready in 5 weeks.Quote:

Meanwhile M-Sport mechanics have time for some fun... ;)

It's going to be interesting to see what Ogier thinks of the new Toyota Rally1 car... especially if he really, really likes it ...
Neuville manged to crach into river also in 2018 while testing. Quite big coincidence...
really well proportioned car. much more appealing than the i20 or the Puma.

Is there a calendar to testing or where do people know when and where there are the tests?
i see that he green/red light on yaris is at different position from hyundai.
Wouldnt be safer and easier for spectators to be at same position at any car?
by the way imho better position is at both side rear windows
The Yaris also have them on the side. Maybe three points will be mandatory...idkQuote:

“I was still positively, how would I say? Surprised? Maybe surprised is not the right word.
“I was positive about the day and my first impression with the car is of course you say straightaway that it’s new technology and this is a big challenge for the teams.”
Ogier said he enjoyed the challenge of deploying and regenerating the electric boost – in the shape of an additional 120bhp – from the Yaris.
The eight-time world champion added: “On the driving style you have some things to adapt to with the regeneration, which is important to be able to use the boost.
“And some new parameters for us drivers and I think that somehow makes it exciting.
“It’s something new to try to adapt to. When it’s new, in general there’s always more expectation around it.”
Ogier will complete his test on a new road in France on Sunday.

And see the co-drivers seat now level with the driver so each seat supports the other in a side impact accident.
