Where is Sordo testing? I have vacation but everything has gone to hell in Norway so might as well leave the country
OK, this is the half true… There were some other minor problems causing delays to tests but nothing significant.Quote:

I hope for rain in Greece and honestly seeing how it looks like on the place, IMHO it would be very difficult to have a rally if it is scheduled in the next few days.

Why do I always feel scared and anxious when seeing those bad tarmac roads/stages....?
Same!Quote:

Those 3.2 kilometers are obviously quite fast and narrow in the forest, but the surface is quite smooth with little to none significant bumps etc.
Anyways, it was my first time seeing Rally1 in person, and have to say, that car is pretty sick. Extremely well balanced, doesnt "move" while cutting or braking at all. It was very impressive experience to see such a machinery in a familiar surroundings.
To clearify: it´s the kind of stage in combination with very fast cars. And yes, I know safety is very good in those cars but still we have physical laws deciding most of the outcome after an off.Quote:

Per, what Walach meant is that the road used for the test is super smooth in the local rally standards (the test was held in a Barum rally area). Anyway the Czech CER stages are no Pindula-like broken bumpy dirty something which only remotely resembles tarmac. It seems that there are only few bumpy roads and quite a lot of nice smooth asphalt.Quote:
