The biggest difference seems to be getting used to the extra grip due to the big aero of wrc1 cars. So they could reduce rc1 aero, or they could increase the rc2 aero to make things easier to step up.Quote:

Ugly, ugly Toyota
The Hyundai livery looks the best, after a decade of trying they finally done themselves right. Now I'm only missing a Peugeot 208 Rally1 (or whatever the top category will be decided), to add some french flair and a handful of full-time drivers.
Nice reminder of how Rossel patheticaly stole Gryazins win last year
Lol, so sad.. but rules are rules and Rossel just used his right to make protest. He didn't make the penalty decision, stewards did.Quote:

all these i doubt are Rossels acts.Its citroen acts.

Read this article and understand that that's the way it goes under allowed rules. Toksport has also done the same.Quote:

Suninen was also DSQ for too light/not homologated front bumper.. would he have been slower with correct one.. I doubt it. But again rules are rules.
The Toyota livery looks like something you'd run as a one off if a team member died.
And that would be who?Quote:

Why there would be a change? Tyres are allocated long before rally weekend.Quote:

Maybe next year they’ll revert back to it? One can only hope…Quote:

Also makes me miss Rally Deutschland, glad I got to see it that year, little did I know what was waiting around the bend in 2020.Quote:
