Sure isn't a WRC rally-car, but Paolo Andreucci, on his Peugeot S2000, this week has tested a new studded tires for next season 2013, and exactly for Montecarlo's Rally.

On TestRally.com more pictures of these test.
Would be great to see Pirelli back in the top of WRC giving some competition to Michelin.
I'm sure Michelin would like some real competition too.

Good to see new WRC's in north of Portugal. Great test in Ponte de Lima :)
Great videos! I loving Nasser's new livery. Does anyone know if his (and Thierry's) cars are of the same spec as Seb and Mikko?Quote:

Martin prokop had a shakedown with DMack tyres before Argentina on an autocross stage. Very very spectacular :)

Nice jump and some good sideways action :)
Will be interesting to see if he's fully recovered for the Monte, allthough I expect he'll be healed some time before.

Latvala was testing in Sardinia for two days. He ran a total mileage that round the one he will have to do in Greece (even he did 30 kms without stopping). His arm is OK, ready for Greece.
Citroën was in Portugal this week to prepare Grece :

Mirek, did you mean rally-cross? You see over in the Rally 3rd World， when people say "auto-cross" its a form of activity (hard to call it racing) that is done in parking places done in 1st and second gear 99% of the time. And they usually have more than 25 car classes.... That video of Prokop was great, real hard driving, action, and dirt flying; US auto-cross if you watch it, any normal person begins think of suicide since that would be more merciful than the boredom you suffer...Quote:

I call it grass-o-cross out of respect for real rally-cross...Funny thing is that many guys nationwide have picked up this idea and have begun calling grass-o-cross also....Again you begin looking for a long skinny screw driver to poke into your eyes if you accidentally watch it)
No, I mean autocross - it even has a European championship by FIA :)
It's run with buggies (but also "cars") on dirt circuits. Very contact and spectacular motorsport. The strongest buggies have either 4 litre N/A or 2.0T engine, permanent 4WD with differentials etc.
