Excellent! :) Feels like I was just yesterday watching PX60 AUW getting some punishment in Finnish tests but it's already over three weeks... Circus goes on!

so, today latvala tested on the panzerplatte, was quite spectacular i must say! here´s the video of today:

Nice vid of some great driving, can never fault JML's commitment!

Great action indeed...

The car looked to move a lot during the panzerplatte stage...but it looks very fast and very agressive driving by latvala. Lets see if the car has a chance against the french.

Wow... That first slide... :) Looks very aggressive.

So whats Mikko doing?

amazing

That's the best that they can do.

Anyone gone to the Richard Burns Memorial Rally? How was it and do they have any pics? I am only asking here as Mini is using this rally to test before germany.

now here´s my last video from the testsessions, hirvonen on the panzerplatte:

I think Van Merksteijn the younger has that honour. I'm sure the injured Eddy would testify to that too.

If you're talking about that Greece incident, it wasn't really even a "crash" - more an off I'd say. They just hit a huge stone (very heavy impact under the car) which launched the car off the line and while braking it slid to ditch and stopped.

Is Loeb only one who has rolled DS3? :D EDIT. No, Ogier did it too in Argentina.

Ogier did it in pre-event test for Finland, too, if that counts.

Van Merksteijn rolled in France too.

Unlikely there'll be any photos or videos from testing at Walters Arena, the owners of the site do not like photographers there whilst testing is going on, as I've found out in the past!

On this occasion there were at least 3 photographers there, together with BBC Wales Today, S4C's Ralio and a crew filming for the BBC Wales Rally GB highlights programme.......

I've heard about a few people being " asked " to leave Walters today. It's okay if you have permission to be in there but if you have not then unless you are very sneaky then I think you will be out.

Is that allowed in the WRC that crews are testing on some parts of the actual rally? I see that Kuipers was testing at Sweet Lamb..
