SS Malonty, Rallye Český Krumlov. Great stage but IMO somewhat bumpier than majority of the CER millage.Quote:

What about the PET cars. Is it same car for the rally? I mean for example enginewise...
It depends. Event PET cars will typically be in the same specification as the ones they will use for the rally, though they may try some new components / settings. It's rare a team will try something on a PET (development parts that have not been homologated for example) that they can't or won't use on an event, unless it's something that needs urgent testing.Quote:

Lappi doing develomemt test for Hyundai in Finland. Suninen did previous days as I understand

That means he will stay with HyundaiQuote:

Tänak did also a test last year with the new rear wing and updates although he was leaving
So I’m with Pluto on this that it necessarily doesn’t mean he continues with them although I myself I’m sure he does
So the car is tested with new upgrades...Quote:

,,driver to go'' won't test car and see updates at the end of the year.Quote:

or have teams still some days left?
Hyundai and Toyota can of course test in Finland any time
Hyundai has actually 4 testing days still and also 3 jokers compared to Toyotas 0

I know contracts are usually valid until end of the year, but has there been cases when a ,,leaving driver'' has tested new car before new year?
