The Hyundai at 2.22 looks to have set the shocks up better, looks like a driver set up issue rather than a car design issue.

No chance. Too many rocks in Mexico.

Funny isn't it - usually JML or Meeke find the only rock in 20km of stage. In Mexico Latvala has avoided everything that is 'in your face' thus far. Just when I'd stopped believing he had a performance left for my Pickem. But for those who still selected him keep the rule in mind '1st or 2nd otherwise nowhere'

True that the other lands a lot better and I agree that most likely it's not a design issue but setup one.

Maybe a matter of speed before jump? Or breaking? (Admit havent seen vid yet)

Was something broken, or did the Panzerwagen hold together?

All the cars jump very nose heavy on that place, land hard on front but all of them stick their rear axle to the ground at first contact while that one Hyundai suffered from clearly visible violent rebound of the rear axle. Similar to what Fabias R5 did last year in Portugal before they sorted it out.

Also these "fake" jumps often seem to be difficult for cars. It's a very short/sharp jump, quite unnatural. They seem to "kick" the cars much more than a normal jump would.

there are so many factors, not only speed and arriving angle, but also throttle/brake position, damper springs, clicks, ride height, etc influenting behaviour of the car during take-off and landing that it's hard to judge. Also sometimes you need to sacrifice one "special" jump like this one to have good setup for other part of the stage, sometimes you ned to find compromise, etc.

Ogier 27 minutes faster than himself at first split. What a champion!
