Does anybody know when they last tested in Catalonia (Spain)? I know they went to Almería/Murcia (southern Spain) some time ago, but I don't know about Catalonia.
aaanddd Mikkelsen today like expected, getting also some rain https://x.com/paddocknews/status/1801517947438903315
It's interesting that Hyundai and Ford chose to test for the Polish rally in Estonia. While the speed may be similar, South-Estonian roads are generally wider and more flowing compared to Poland's narrower, twistier roads with frequent direction changes. Hopefully, we won't hear any complaints that the Estonian roads didn't adequately resemble the Rally Poland.
Heard from my Estonian friend that Fourmaux had rolled, but could continue after some reparing in service..
Don't have any pics or smth tho.
It’s true. You can see the aftermath here at 4.30Quote:

Has probably been written somewhere, but Sesks doing Poland without Hybrid, will they remowe it completely and add extra weight or how does it work?Quote:

I remember pre rally 1 cars they had 42 days of testing and before that 55. What do you guys think? 21 is too little?
Sounds like an excuse for his poor recent performances by Evans.Quote:

I wasn't making excuses for Evans, he is off the mark this year, but it's wild to think only 5 years ago they had 52?60? days of testing a year and now they have half..or less.Quote:

Yes.Quote:

And it's just a stupid rule that doesn't make any difference, if they run out of test days they just enter some local rally somewhere.

Millener suggests combined teams testing and commercialising the product...
https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/the-t...ng-to-exploit/
That's a good point. If they can organise it properly it will be very helpful promotionally. Visit part of classic stages, go to countries with no WRC history and grow interest,create a small service park with amenities. That's proper. It's doubtful they can execute it, though.
KAlle today

Do let me know what you think!
Lappi used Lithuanian rally championship event for 'testing', many runs on shakedown... and he's won of course this rally :) Shakedown was on drying gravel after heavy rain a day before, then on Fri stages were dry, and on Sat heavy rain first and drying stages again.
